Question

The gas in a container is at a pressure of 3.00 atm at 25.0 C. Directions on the container warn the user no to keep it in a place where the temperature exceeds 52 C. What would be the gas pressure in the container at 52 C?

Answer 1

Answer:

$P_{2} = 3.272\,atm$

Explanation:

Let consider that gas behaves ideally, the following relation is used:

$\frac{P_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}}{T_{2}}$

The final pressure is:

$P_{2} = P_{1} \cdot \frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}$

$P_{2} = (3\,atm)\cdot \left(\frac{325.15\,K}{298.15\,K} \right)$

$P_{2} = 3.272\,atm$
