14 A special thermometer known as a helium gas thermometer uses the pressure of helium
gas to measure the temperature of the surroundings.

The relationship between the temperature of the surroundings ( T ) in degrees Celsius

(°C) and the pressure of the helium gas ( P ) in Pascals (Pa) is given by the equation
P 8T + PO , where PO is a constant to be determined.
=

The table below shows various values of T and the corresponding values of P .

T (°C) 25 50 100

P (Pa) 2400 2600 3000

(a) By using a scale of 2 cm to represent 20 °C on the horizontal axis, and 2 cm to

represent 500 Pa on the vertical axis, draw the graph for P (Pa) against T (°C)
for 0 ≤ T ≤ 100 on the grid on page 11. [3]

(b) (i) Using your graph, state the value of PO .

Answer PO = …………………………….. [1]

(ii) Explain the significance of the value of PO in relation to the helium gas.
