Resistance of platinum wire at ice point (0°C) = 5 ohm
Resistance of platinum wire at steam point (100°C) = 5.23 ohm
When the thermometer is inserted in a hot bath,
The resistance of the platinum wire is = 5. 795 ohm
Now, if we suppose
R0 = 5 ohm
R100 = 5. 23 ohm
Rt = 5. 795 ohm
As a = R100 - R0 / R0 x 100 = Rt - R0 / R0 x t
Therefore, Rt- R0 / R100 - R0 x 100
= 5.795 - 5 / 5.23 - 5 x 100
= 345.65°C
So, the actual temperature of the hot bath is 345.65°C as measured by the platinum resistance thermometer.
