A constant-volume gas thermometer is filled with air whose pressure is 104 Pa at the triple point of water.What would the pressure be at 32.0 K? A)12.2 Pa B)1.13 × 10^-3 Pa C)888 Pa D)84.1 Pa

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pressure of a gas at constant volume is directly proportional to its temperature in Kelvin. Using the formula P1/T1 = P2/T2, where P1 = 104 Pa, T1 = 273.16 K (triple point of water), and T2 = 32.0 K, we can solve for P2: P2 = (104 Pa * 32.0 K) / 273.16 K = 12.2 Pa.
