Chapter 8, Problem 8.2P
Fixed temperature points in the International Temperature Scale are phase equilibrium states for a variety of pure substances. Discuss the conditions necessary within an experimental apparatus to accurately reproduce these fixed temperature points. How would elevation, weather, and material purity affect the uncertainty in these fixed points?

The balance is used to measure the mass of the stone, while the beaker is used to measure the volume of the stone. It is known that the digital balance has a resolution of 0.1 g and that the beaker cup has a resolution of 5 ml. Repeated mass measurements return the following values: 250.0 g; 249.9 g; 250.3 g; 249.6g; 250.1 g; 249.7g; 250.4 g; 250.0 g; 248.8 g; 250.2 g The volume is measured only once. Placing the stone in the beaker, a volume of displaced water equal to 50 ml is measured. Using a k=2.5, check if the density of the stone is compatible or out of line with the value ρ = (4910 ± 65) kg.m-3 (a) none of the above (b) the values are compatible (c) missing data to perform the compatibility test (d) the values are discrepantarrow_forward
