Answer:
T₂ = 317.87 K
Explanation:
Given data:
Initial pressure = 15 atm
Final pressure = 16 atm
Initial temperature = 298 K
Final temperature = ?
Solution:
According to Gay-Lussac Law,
The pressure of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant volume and number of moles.
Mathematical relationship:
P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂
Now we will put the values in formula:
15 atm / 298K = 16 atm/T₂
T₂ = 16atm × 298 K / 15 atm
T₂ = 4768 atm. K / 15 atm
T₂ = 317.87 K
