The pressure of the gas in a constant vo...

The pressure of the gas in a constant volume gas thermometer is 80cm of mercury in melting ice at `1 atm`. When the bulb is placed in a liquid, the pressure becomes `160cm` of mercury. Find the temperature of the liquid.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

For an ideal gas at constant volume,
`T_1/T_3 = P_1/P_3`
or, T_2 = P_2/P_1 T_1`. The temperature of melting ice at `1 atm` is `273.15K`. Thus, the temperature of the liquid is
`T_2 = 160/80 xx 273.15 K = 546.30K`.

    In a constant volume gas thermometer, the pressure of the working gas is measured by the difference in the levels of mercury in the two arms of a U-tube connected to the gas at one end. When the bulb is placed at the room temperature 27.0^0 C , the mercury column in the arm open to atmosphere stands 5.00 cm above the level of mercury in the other arm. When the bulb is placed in a hot liquid, the difference of mercury levels becomes 45.0 cm . Calculate the temperature of the liquid. (Atmospheric pressure = 75.0cm of mercury).
