RE: Explaining explain



Hi all-
As a comment on Bob's QUANTUM article, the T in PV=RT could not
have been measured with a thermometer. What was actuallt measured was (Charles
law) P=C(T0+t) (constant volume) with T0 and C empirical constants and t
the thermometer reading. The eventual realization that T0 is a universal
constant lead to the concept o absolute temperature.
Regards,
Jack
