Answer 2

Concept:

The change in scale with respect to the actual scale can be determined by comparing it with the known temperatures.

Given:

Here, the freezing point of water is defined to be 60.0°H and the boiling point of water at sea level is defined to be 520°H in the defined thermometer.

Find:

The absolute zero on this scale.

Solution:

Here, in the newly defined thermometer, the freezing point is 60 °H which is 273 K in absolute temperature and the boiling point is 520 °H  which is 373 K in absolute temperature.

Comparing with the known temperatures,

(K-273/H-60) = (373-273)/ (520-60)

The value of K is substituted to 0, as we have to calculate the absolute zero.

(0-273/H-60) = (373-273)/ (520-60)

-273/(H-60)= 0.217

(H-60)= -273/0.217 = -1258 °H

H= -1258+60 = - 1198 °H ≈ -1196°H

Hence, the absolute zero in the defined H scale is -1196°H. Hence, the correct option is (C) -1196°H.
