Homework Statement
P(at triple point in torr of water) 100 200 300 400
P(in torr for gas w/ respect to Pressure above) 127.9 256.5 385.8 516.0
The previous table gives the observed values of the pressure of a gas in a constant-volume gas thermometer at an unknown temperature T and at the triple point of water as the mass of the gas used is reduced. Determine T in kelvins by considering the limit of the pressure of the triple point as it approaches zero of (P(gas)/P(triple point of water).
Homework Equations
P=aT+b
T(K)= 273.16lim(Ptp->0)(P/Ptp)
The Attempt at a Solution
I don't even know where to go with this. I have no clue where to start. I've tried a bunch of random things, but it all goes nowhere.
