Question

If oxygen gas at 118 °C and 10.8 atm was heated to 948 °C, what would the new pressure be?

Answer 1

Answer: The new pressure is 1.34 atm.

Explanation:

Given: $P_{1}$ = 10.8 atm,         $T_{1} = 118^{o}C$

$P_{2}$ = ?,                  $T_{2} = 948^{o}C$

Formula used to calculate the new pressure is as follows.

$\frac{P_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}}{T_{2}}\\\frac{10.8 atm}{118^{o}C} = \frac{P_{2}}{948^{o}C}\\P_{2} = 1.34 atm$

Thu, we can conclude that the new pressure is 1.34 atm.
