I have made a thermometer which measures temperature by the compressing and expanding of gas in a piston. I have measured that at 100 degrees C the volume of the piston is 20 L. What is the temperature outside if the piston has a volume of 15 L? What would be appropriate clothing for the weather?

Answer 1

The temperature outside is 75 degrees C. Appropriate clothing for this weather would be light layers such as a t-shirt and a light jacket, shorts or pants, and closed-toe shoes.
