Estimating absolute zero from formula P V = n R T big syringe with weights stacked on plunger to provide a consistent pressure on gas inside. Put in water at various temperatures; measure volume. Do several times; push on plunger - it can stick. temp volume 0 10.2 0 9.5 0 10.1 22 11 22 11.1 22 11.3 90 14 90 13.1 90 12.6 1. What is your estimate of absolute zero? 2. How much do you believe that number? -------------------------------------------- Need to know : - how to make a graph and stare at it - some ideas from linear regression - propogation of errors in formulas : percentage errrors add
