Answer to Question #104590 in General Chemistry for Somethung

Question

A gas thermometer measures temperature by measuring the pressure of a gas inside the fixed volume container a thermometer reads a pressure of 248 kPa at 0 degrees Celsius what is the temperature with thermometer reads a pressure of 345 kPa

Answer 1

The thermometer is based on the isochoric process, which could be described with the following expression:

$\frac{P_{0}}{T_{0}}=\frac{P}{T};$

or $T=\frac{T_{0}P}{P_{0}};$

Using the given data:

$T=\frac{273K*345kPa}{248kPa}=380K(107C).$
