A tank is filled with an ideal gas at 400 K and pressure of 1.00 atm.
bekas [8.4K]

To find the temperature it is necessary to use the expression and concepts related to the ideal gas law.

Mathematically it can be defined as

PV=nRT

Where

P = Pressure

V = Volume

n = Number of moles

R = Gas constant

T = Temperature

When the number of moles and volume is constant then the expression can be written as

\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}

Or in practical terms for this exercise depending on the final temperature:

T_2 = \frac{P_2T_1}{P_1}

Our values are given as

T_1 = 400K\\P_1 = 1atm\\P_2 = 2atm

Replacing

T_2 = \frac{(2)(400)}{1}\\T_2 = 800K

Therefore the final temperature of the gas is 800K
