Temperature can be measured using different scales. Complete the details for the missing temperatures in the table below:
| Temperature | Boiling point of liquid nitrogen | Melting point of lead |
|---|---|---|
| in ∘C^\circ\text{C}∘C | (i) | 327 |
| in Kelvin | 77 | (ii) |
In a thermodynamics laboratory, an engineer measures the volume of a fixed mass of argon gas inside a flexible cylinder at constant pressure. The table below shows the results:
| Temperature in ∘C^\circ\text{C}∘C | Volume in dm3\text{dm}^3dm3 |
|---|---|
| -50 | 1.115 |
| 0 | 1.365 |
| 50 | 1.850 |
| 100 | 1.865 |
| 150 | 2.115 |
Identify the coordinates of the anomalous point from the table.
Use the non-anomalous data points to find the temperature (in ∘C^\circ\text{C}∘C) at which the volume of the gas would theoretically become zero.
