Question

The contents of the cylinder is then entirely transfered to a partially filled holding tank of volume 10,000 L originally at presure 2 atm and 300 K. What is the new pressure in the holding tank at 300 K?

Answer 1

Answer:

The new pressure in the holding tank is 2 atm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Volume = 10000 L

Initial pressure 2 atm

Initial temperature = 300 k

We need to calculate the new pressure

Using equation of ideal gas

$PV=RT$

$R=\dfrac{PV}{T}$

Where,P = pressure

T = temperature

V = volume

R = constant

Put the value into the formula

Volume of gas are remain constant

So,

$\dfrac{P_{i}V}{T_{i}}=\dfrac{P_{f}V}{T_{f}}$

$\dfrac{2\times10000}{300}=\dfrac{P_{f}\times10000}{300}$

$P_{f}=2\ atm$

Hence, The new pressure in the holding tank is 2 atm.
