Shale actually forms in the part of the rock cycle called compaction.
Answer:
B.) 1.3 atm
Explanation:
To find the new pressure, you need to use Gay-Lussac's Law:
P₁ / T₁ = P₂ / T₂
In this equation, "P₁" and "T₁" represent the initial pressure and temperature. "P₂" and "T₂" represent the final pressure and temperature. After converting the temperatures from Celsius to Kelvin, you can plug the given values into the equation and simplify to find P₂.
P₁ = 1.2 atm P₂ = ? atm
T₁ = 20 °C + 273 = 293 K T₂ = 35 °C + 273 = 308 K
P₁ / T₁ = P₂ / T₂ <----- Gay-Lussac's Law
(1.2 atm) / (293 K) = P₂ / (308 K) <----- Insert values
0.0041 = P₂ / (308 K) <----- Simplify left side
1.3 = P₂ <----- Multiply both sides by 308
