How could the discrepancy be reduced between the two readings?

[QUOTE="vcsharp2003, post: 6831778, member: 618199"] I think we need to decrease the number of moles of oxygen in the thermometer A, so it gives lower pressure readings at temperatures of triple point and at melting point of sulphur. That way the oxygen gas will behave more closely to an ideal gas just like thermometer B and we'll get smaller differences in their readings. I am assuming that thermometer B with hydrogen is already at low pressures from the pressure readings mentioned in the original problem. OR we could decrease the number of moles of oxygen as well as of hydrogen in their thermometers, so they both record low pressures. Is the above the right approach to decrease the discrepancy between the two thermometers' readings? [/QUOTE]
