In a student experiment, a constant-volume gas thermometer is calibrated in dry ice (-78.5°c) and in boiling pentane (36.1°c). the separate pressures are 0.890 atm and 1.423 atm. hint: use the linear relationship p = a + bt, where a and b are constants.
a. what value of absolute zero does the calibration yield?
°c
b. what pressure would be found at the freezing point of water?
atm
c. what pressure would be found at the boiling point of water?
atm
