Solution and Answers to a,b,c

11 2) Using the constant volume gas thermometer from problem 1 (above). It uses mercury, as shown in the figure. In the figure h is positive, but typically we use a very small amount of gas at under-pressure, so h will usually be negative. You find that the gas pressure at the triple-point (273.16 K) to be 50 torr, as noted in the above problem. (a) Convert the 50 torr pressure to both atm's and Pascals, and obtain the height of the mercury (again, h is negative). (b) At what height will the mercury be at 300 K? (c) You keep increasing the temperature until you measure a height of zero. What (very high) temperature does this correspond to? m. Flexible
