Answer the following:
(a)
The triple-point of water is a standard fixed point in modern thermometry. Why?
What is wrong in taking the melting point of ice and the boiling point of water
as standard fixed points (as was originally done in the Celsius scale)?
(b)
There were two fixed points in the origin Celsius scale as mentioned above
which were assigned; the number \[{{0}^{o}}C\] and \[{{100}^{o}}C\]
respectively. On the absolute scale, one of the fixed points is the
triple-point of water, which on the Kelvin absolute scale is assigned the
number 273.16 K. What is the other fixed point on this (Kelvin) scale?
(c)
The absolute temperature (Kelvin scale) T is related to the temperature t, on
the Celsius scale by\[=0\cdot 5\times {{10}^{-3}}{{m}^{3}}.\]
Why
do we have 273.15 in this relation, and not 273.16?
