(8%) Problem 9: A constant-volume thermometer consists of a rigid bulb and a pressure gauge. To obtain accurate results, this thermometer must be calibrated at a known pressure and temperature. Once this is done, the bulb is sealed off from the atmosphere. The volume and number of moles of gas can no longer change and the temperature is calculated from the pressure measurement. No Attempt No Attempt 25%

Part (a) A particular constant-volume thermometer is calibrated by opening it to the atmosphere while the bulb is in a bath of boiling water. Enter an expression for the temperature of the thermometer, in degrees Celsius, in terms of its pressure, P, in atmospheres. Answer 25%

Part (b) When the constant-volume thermometer that was calibrated as described in part (a) is used to measure a temperature, it shows a pressure of 0.92 atm. What temperature is it indicating, in degrees Celsius? T = 92

Part (c) The thermometer is recalibrated by opening it to the atmosphere while the bulb is in a bath of ice water. Enter an expression for the temperature of the thermometer, in degrees Celsius, in terms of the pressure, P, in atmospheres.

Part (d) The recalibrated thermometer of part (c) shows a pressure of 0.92 atm. What temperature does that indicate, in degrees Celsius?

What does Boyle's law state about pressure and volume at a constant temperature and a constant pressure? Pressure and volume will both increase together or both decrease together. Pressure and volume will both increase as temperature and pressure increase. Pressure increases when volume decreases. Pressure and volume will both decrease as temperature and pressure decrease.
