Space Physics: The solar corona is a very hot atmosphere surrounding the visible surface of the sun.
X-ray emissions from the corona show that its temperature is about 2 × 106 K. The gas pressure in
the corona is about 0.03 Pa. Estimate the number density of particles in the solar corona with units
of particles per cubic meter.
Will a change in temperature affect the pressure that is measured using a gauge? If so, use the kinetic theory of gases to explain in a few words how pressure and temperature are related.
The data In the following table are from a constant volume gas thermometer experiment. The volume of the gas was kept constant,
while the temperature was changed. The resulting pressure was measured.
