If I remember correcty from chem class 35 years ago:
PV=NRT
pressure * volume = moles * R * Temperature
I don't really remember the units, but I think moles is a measure of
mass, R is a constant (.082?), temperature = degrees kelvin.
Google "ideal gas law" for better info. But solve for T and you get
T=PV/NR
The rest is left as an exercise for the student :-)



Oh no.... not moles !!!

That is almost as helpful to me as Avogadro's Number.

I think I will stick with the brick analogy......................... I
can understand bricks.

I new a Wiley Wilson in Ballard, WA in the early 1980s. Same person?
