Question

The volume and amount of gas are constant in a tire. The initial pressure and temperature are 1.82 atm and 293 K. At what temperature will the gas in the tire have a pressure of 2.35 atm?

Answer 1

Answer:

When the pressure increases to 2.35 atm, the temperature will increase to 378 K

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The initial pressure = 1.82 atm

The initial temperature = 293 K

The pressure will be increased to 2.35 atm

Step 2: Calculate the new temperature

P1/T1 = P2/T2

⇒with P1 = the initial pressure = 1.82 atm

⇒with T1 = the initial temperature = 293 K

⇒with P2 = the increased pressure = 2.35 atm

⇒with T2 = the new temperature = TO BE DETERMINED

1.82atm / 293 K = 2.35 atm / T2

T2 = 2.35 atm / (1.82 atm/293 K)

T2 = 2.35 / 0.0062116

T2 = 378 K

When the pressure increases to 2.35 atm, the temperature will increase to 378 K
