A gas thermometer is used to measure the temperature of a boiling liquid. The thermometer is calibrated at the triple point of water. Where the triple point pressure is 75 kPA and its liquid temperature reads 134 K, at 50 kPa it reads 134 K, and at 25 kPa it reads 133 K. What is the accurate temperature of the liquid in Kelvin?

A company advertises that it delivers helium at a gauge pressure of 1.72107 Pa in a cylinder of volume 43.8 L. How many balloons can be inflated to a volume of 4.00 L with that amount of helium? Assume the pressure inside the balloons is 1.72105 Pa and the temperature in the cylinder and the balloons is 25.0 .
A person taking a reading of the temperature in a freezer in Celsius makes two mistakes: first omitting the negative sign and then thinking the temperature is Fahrenheit. That is, the person reads xC as xF . Oddly enough, the result is the correct Fahrenheit temperature. What is the original Celsius reading? Round your answer to three significant figures.
Using a numerical integration method such as Simpson's rule, find the fraction of molecules in a sample of oxygen gas at a temperature of 250 K that have speeds between 100 m/s and 150 m/s. The molar mass of oxygen (O2) is 32.0 g/mol. A precision to two significant digits is enough.
Most automobiles have a coolant reservoir to catch radiator fluid than may overflow when 1he engine is hot. A radiator is made of copper and is filled to its 16.0L capacity when at 10.0C. What volume of radiator fluid will overflow when the radiator and fluid reach their 95.0C operating temperature, given that the fluid’s volume coefficient of expansion is =400106/C ? Note that this coefficient is approximate, because most car radiators have operating temperatures of greater than 95.0C.
