Question:

It is possible to make a thermometer by scaling gas in a rigid container and measuring the absolute pressure. Such a constant- volume gas thermometer is placed in an ice-water bath at 0.00°C. After reaching thermal equilibrium, the gas pressure is recorded as 55.9 kPa. The thermometer is then placed in contact with a sample of unknown temperature. After the thermometer reaches a new equilibrium, the gas pressure is 65.1 kPa. What is the temperature of this sample?
