A platinum resistance thermometer has resistances of 170.0 when placed in a 0°C ice bath and 244.8 when immersed in a crucible containing a melting substance. What is the melting point of this substance? (Hint: First determine the resistance of the platinum resistance thermometer at room temperature, 20°C.)

Temperatures are often measured with electrical resistance thermometers. Suppose that the resistance of such a resistance thermometer is 147 when its temperature is 23.2 °C. The wire is then immersed in a liquid, and the resistance drops to 80.1. The temperature coefficient of resistivity of the thermometer resistance is a =2.80 x 10-3 (C°)-1. What is the temperature of the liquid?
