Chapter 19, Problem 48PQ
A triple-point cell such as the one shown in Figure 19.20 (page 571) is constructed and calibrated at sea level. It is then shipped to Denver, which is 1 mi above sea level. Can the researchers in the Denver lab use the triple-point cell just as in a laboratory at sea level, or will special adjustments be needed? Explain.
