What determines the upper and lower fixed points of a thermometer?

Upper fixed point is the temperature of pure water boiling at normal atmospheric pressure.Lower fixed point is the temperature of a mixture of pure ice and pure water at normal atmospheric pressure. Each thermometer has a scale containing an upper and lower fixed points depending on the use of this thermometer for specific measurements.


Why boiling point of water is not fixed?

The boiling point of water is fixed but boiling points depends on the atmospheric pressure.


Why do balloons expand as they rise through the troposphere?

The ballon contains a fixed amount of gas producing internal pressure. At the surface, this pressure equals the surface atmospheric pressure. As the balloon rises, the atmospheric pressure drops, allowing the balloon to expand, keeping the internal pressure and external pressure equal. If the balloon is fully inflated at the surface it will burst at higher altitude.


What are the fixed reference points on the celsius thermometer?

If you have 2 then you are right. The freezing point of water and the boiling point of water are the 2 fixed points.


What is lower fixed point?

upper fixed point is a temperature of stem from water boiling and standards atmospheric pressure lower fixed point is the temperature of pure melting ice.

How can you make the pressure of air less than normal?

Well the easiest answer I can think of is to use the ideal gas equation and look at the terms and their effect on pressure. PV=nRT == P=(nrRT)/V, as can been seen from the equation: Pressure is directly proportional to Temperature and inversly proportional to Volume. So you trap air inside a fixed volume container. (Note: not every container will work. The walls of the container must be able to withstand the imbalance between the new inner air pressure and the atmospheric pressure.) Then simple cool the container. If you have gauge fixed to the rigid container (measuring the interior) you will see a drop in air pressure inside the container.


How do you calculate liquid to gas expansion ratio of nitrogen?

Ok. there's a fixed ratio for Nitrogen as it expands from liquid to gas. From liquid, it expands 696 times from its boiling point at atmospheric pressure.
