In a constant-volume gas thermometer, the pressure of the working gas is measured by the difference in the levels of mercury in the two arms of a U-tube connected to the gas at one end. When the bulb is placed at room temperature 27.0C27.0^\circ\text{C}, the mercury column in the arm open to the atmosphere stands 5.00cm5.00\,\text{cm} above the level of mercury in the other arm. When the bulb is placed in a hot liquid, the difference of mercury levels becomes 45.0cm45.0\,\text{cm}. Calculate the temperature of the liquid (atmospheric pressure =75.0cm= 75.0\,\text{cm} of mercury).
