Answer to Question #304869 in Molecular Physics | Thermodynamics for Wishwell123

Question

Dry hydrogen is trapped by a pellet of mercury in a uniform capillary tube closed at one end. If the length of the

column of hydrogen at 270oC is 1.0m, at what temperature will the length be 1.20m?

Answer 1

$t_2=\frac{l_2(t_1+273)}{l_1}-273=379°C.$
