trapped in a glass capillary tube as shown in the figure below. The student recorded in a table
In an experiment to investigate Charles' law, a Physics student used a fixed mass of dry air
how the length of the air column varied with temperature.
(a)
Length of the air column, L/mm
Temperature, T/C
Temperature, T/K
(c)
Air trapped in a capillary tube
Mercury
Results of the experiment
152.0
158.0 163.0
170.0
14.0
29.0 40.0 57.5
287 302 1313
Complete the table above by calculating the temperature, T/K.
Dry An
From your graph, calculate the slope, S.
