Total: 22
Two absolute scales A and B have triple points of water defined to be 200 A and 350 B. What is the relation between TAandTB?
Solution:  
Here, triple point of water on scale, A=200A
triple point of water on scale B=350B
triple point of water on kelvin scale =273.16K
According to question, 200A=350B=273.16K
1 A=
273.16
200
K
,

1B=
273.16
350
K

If TA and TB represent the triple point of water on two scales A and B, then
273.16
200
TA
=
273.16
350
TB
,

TA
