True. Our earth Is getting hotter due to global warming.
Answer:
The pressure inside the container will be 3.3 atmospheres
Explanation:
The relationship between the temperature and pressure of a gas occupying a fixed volume is given by Gay-Lussac's law which states that the pressure of a given amount of gas is directly proportional to its temperature on the kelvin scale when the volume is kept constant.
Mathematically, it expressed as: P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂
where P₁ is initial pressure, T₁ is initial temperature, P₂ is final pressure, T₂ is final temperature.
The above expression shows that the ratio of the pressure and temperature is always constant.
In the given question, the gas in the can attains the temperature of its environment.
P₁ = 3 atm,
T₁ = 25 °C = (273.15 + 25) K = 298.15 K,
P₂ = ?
T₂ = (55 °C = 273.15 + 55) K = 328.15 K
Substituting the values in the equation
3/298.15 = P₂/328.15
P₂ = 3 × 328.15/298.15
P₂ = 3.3 atm
Therefore, the pressure inside the container will be 3.3 atmospheres
