One way to measure temperature in some applications is to monitor the gas pressure in a rigid, closed container. What is the final temperature (in °C) of such a vessel, calibrated to initially read 1.00 atm at 0.00 °C, if the pressure changes to 1.20 atm?

Step 1
This means that if the pressure increases, the temperature also increases, and vice versa. The formula for Gay-Lussac's law is P1/T1 = P2/T2, where P1 and T1 are the initial pressure and temperature, and P2 and T2 are the final pressure and temperature. We are Show more…

Go A constant-volume gas thermometer (see Figures $12.3$ and 12.4) has a pressure of $5.00 \times 10^{3}$ Pa when the gas temperature is $0.00{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. What is the temperature (in ${ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ ) when the pressure is $2.00 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~Pa} ?$
The pressure in a constant-volume gas thermometer is $0.700 \mathrm{~atm}$ at $100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and $0.512 \mathrm{~atm}$ at $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. (a) What is the temperature when the pressure is $0.0400 \mathrm{~atm} ?$ (b) What is the pressure at $450^{\circ} \mathrm{C} ?$
In a constant-volume gas thermometer, the pressure at $20.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ is 0.980 atm. (a) What is the pressure at $45.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ ? (b) What is the temperature if the pressure is 0.500 atm?
