                      A constant pressure air thermometer gave a reading of 47.5 units of volume when immersed in ice cold water, and 67 units in a boiling liquid. The boiling point of the liquid will be

    A) \[135{}^\circ C\]                              

    B) \[125{}^\circ C\]

    C) \[112{}^\circ C\]              

    D)        \[100{}^\circ C\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Initial volume\[~{{V}_{1}}=47.5\,\,unit\] Temperature of ice cold water \[{{T}_{1}}={{0}^{o}}C=273\,\,K\] Final volume of\[{{V}_{2}}=67\,\,unit\] Applying Charles law, we have\[\frac{{{V}_{1}}}{{{T}_{1}}}=\frac{{{V}_{2}}}{{{T}_{2}}}\] (where temperature \[{{T}_{2}}\] is the boiling point) or            \[{{T}_{2}}=\frac{{{V}_{2}}}{{{V}_{1}}}\times {{T}_{1}}=\frac{67\times 273}{47.5}\]                     \[=385K={{112}^{o}}C\]
