Answer

$-6.85^{\circ}C$

Work Step by Step

We can find the required temperature as follows: $rate=\frac{227mmHg-0}{100-(-273.15^{\circ}C)}=0.60833mmHg/C^{\circ}$ We know that $rate=\frac{P-P_{\circ}}{T-T_{\circ}}$ This can be rearranged as: $T=T_{\circ}+\frac{P-P_{\circ}}{rate}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $T=100+\frac{162-227}{0.60833}=-6.85^{\circ}C$
