Question

A gas has a pressure of 0.470 atm at 60.0 C. What is the pressure at standard temperature?

Answer 1

Answer:

P2=0.385atm

Explanation:

step one:

Given that the temperature T1=  60 Celcius

we can convert this to kelvin by adding 273k to 60 Celcius

we have T1= 333k

pressure P1= 0.470 atm

step two:

we know that the standard temperature is T2= 273K

Applying the temperature and pressure relationship we have

P1/T1=P2/T2

substituting our given data we have

0.47/333=P2/273

cross multiply we have

P2= (0.47*273)/333

P2= 128.31/333

P2=0.385 atm
