Dry hydrogen is trapped by pellet of mercury in a uniform capillary tube closed at one end. If the length of the column of hydrogen at 27°C is 1.0m, at what temperature will the length be 1.20m?
A
22.5oC
B
32.4oC
C
77.0oC
D
87.0oC
E
360.0oC
Verified Correct Answer: D.
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
V1/T1 = V2/T2
1.0/(273 + 27) = 120/T2
T2 = 360K = 87
