Homework Statement
I have been given measurements of Ptp and corresponding values of P for mercury. My task is to calculate the idea-gas temperature Tg of the material to five significant figures.
Ptp| 1000.0|750.00|500.00|250.00|
P |1535.3 |1151.6| 767.82| 383.95|
Homework Equations
Tg(K) = 273.16 lim Pt ->0 (P/Ptp)
The Attempt at a Solution
Ok i have read up on the ideal gas temperature scale, and sort of grasp it. I have graphed the table and got and equations relating the line to be:
P = 1.5351x +0.21
I don't believe that this is the right way to go about this problem. I am just asking for some direction, as i have hit a wall.
Thanks Zac
