Answer:
The new temperature is 34.21 °C
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Temperature of the system = 15°C
Pressure at 15°C is 1.50 atm
The pressure rose to 1216 torr (=1216/760 = 1.6 atm)
Step 2: Calculate the new temperature
P1/T1 = P2/T2
⇒ with P1 = the initial pressure = 1.50 atm
⇒ with T1 = the initial temperature = 15°C = 288.15 K
⇒ with P2 = the initial pressure = 1.60 atm
⇒ with T2 = the initial temperature = TO BE DETERMINED
T2 = T1 * (P2 / P1)
T2 = 288.15 * (1.60/1.50)
T2 = 307.36 K = 34.21 °C
The new temperature is 34.21 °C
