Question

Select the correct answer. The gas in a sealed container has an absolute pressure of 9.25 atmospheres. If the air around the container is at standard pressure, what is the gauge pressure inside the container? A. 0.759 atm B. 8.25 atm C. 10.25 atm D. 113 atm

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

8.25 atm

Answer 2

Answer: B) 8.25 atm.

Explanation: Absolute pressure is the sum of gauge pressure and atmospheric pressure.

$P_a_b_s_o_l_u_t_e=P_g_a_u_g_e+P_a_t_m_o_s_p_h_e_r_e$

Atmosphere pressure is given as 9.25 atm and the atmospheric pressure is 1.00 atm.

Let's plug in the values in the above formula:

9.25 atm = $P_g_a_u_g_e$ + 1.00 atm

$P_g_a_u_g_e$ = 9.25 atm - 1.00 atm

$P_g_a_u_g_e$ = 8.25 atm

So, gauge pressure inside the container is 8,25 atm and hence the right option is B.
