Q. When a thermometer is taken from the melting ice to a warm liquid, the mercury level rises to $\frac{2^{th}}{5}$ of the distance between the lower and the upper fixed points. The temperature of liquid in $K$ is

Thermal Properties of Matter

Solution:

Here, temperature of liquid $=\frac{2}{5}$ of distance between lower and upper fixed points $=\frac{2}{5}\times100=40^{\circ}C$
On Kelvin scale, $T_{K}=273.15+40=313.15\,K$
