Constant Volume Gas Thermometer

  1. Remove the water and put ice in the bath. Measure the temperature of the ice with the thermometer. Now measure the temperature with the gas thermometer (Use the plot A to read the temperature).
  2. What is the minimum temperature that can be measured with the gas thermometer you have constructed?
  3. What is the maximum temperature that can be measured with the gas thermometer you have constructed?
  4. What is the minimum change (least count) in temperature that can be measured with the gas thermometer you have constructed?
  5. How is this thermometer better than the mercury thermometer?
