Question

This is urgent! Please answer with the correct answer and fast! I made a thermometer which measures temperature by the compressing and expanding of gas in a piston. I have found that, at 1000 C, the volume of the piston is 20 L. What is the temperature (in either K or C) outside if the piston has a volume of 15 L?

Answer 1

Temperature (T1) = 954.86 K or 681.86 ° C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Temperature (T) = 1000° C = 1000 + 273.15 = 1,273.15 K

Volume of the piston (V) = 20 L

Volume of the piston (V1) = 15 L

Find:

Temperature (T1) = ?

Computation:

⇒ [Temperature (T) / Volume of the piston (V)] = [Temperature (T1) / Volume of the piston (V1) ]

⇒ [1,273.15 K / 20 L] = [Temperature (T1) / 15 L]

⇒ Temperature (T1) = 954.86 K or 681.86 ° C
