Question

An ideal gas is contained in a cylinder with a volume of 5.0x102 mL at a temperature of 30°C and a pressure of 710. Torr. The gas is then compressed to a volume of 25 mL, and the temperature is raised to 820° C. What is the new pressure of the gas?

Answer 1

Answer:

51207 torr is the new pressure of the gas

Explanation:

We can solve this question using combined gas law that states:

P1V1T2 = P2V2T1

Where P is pressure, V volume and T absolute temperature of 1, initial state and 2, final state of the gas

Computing the values of the problem:

P1 = 710torr

V1 = 5.0x10²mL

T1 = 273.15 + 30°C = 303.15K

P2 = ?

V2 = 25mL

T2 = 273.15 + 820°C = 1093.15K

Replacing:

710torr*5.0x10²mL*1093.15K = P2*25mL*303.15K

3.881x10⁸torr*mL*K = P2 * 7.579x10³mL*K

P2 = 51207 torr is the new pressure of the gas
