The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question:** The question asks for the gas that is commonly used in gas thermometers. 2. **Identifying the Options:** The options provided are: - Helium - Oxygen - Neon - Argon 3. **Analyzing the Properties of Each Gas:** - **Helium:** It is a noble gas, known for being non-reactive and has a low boiling point, making it suitable for temperature measurements. - **Oxygen:** It is reactive and can participate in combustion, which makes it unsuitable for use in thermometers. - **Neon:** Another noble gas, but it is less commonly used than helium in gas thermometers. - **Argon:** Also a noble gas, but helium is preferred due to its lower density and better thermal conductivity. 4. **Conclusion:** Based on the properties of these gases, helium is the most suitable gas for use in gas thermometers due to its non-reactive nature and physical properties. 5. **Final Answer:** The gas used in gas thermometers is **Helium**. ---

A gas thermometer is used as a standard thermometer for measurement of temperature. When the gas container of the thermometer is immersed in water at its triple point 273.16K , the pressure in the gas thermometer reads 3.0xx10^4N//m^2 . When the gas container of the same thermometer is immersed in another system, the gas pressure reads 3.5xx10^4N//m^2 . The temperature of this system is therefore __________ .^@C .
