Question

Calculate the new temperature when a container of

Answer 1

Answer: The new temperature of container is 123 K.

Explanation:

Given: $P_{1}$ = 795 mm Hg,     $T_{1}$ = 273 K

$P_{2}$ = 358 mm Hg,          $T_{2}$ = ?

Formula used to calculate the new temperature is as follows.

$\frac{P_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}}{T_{2}}$

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

$\frac{P_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}}{T_{2}}\\\frac{795 mm Hg}{273 K} = \frac{358 mm Hg}{T_{2}}\\T_{2} = 123 K$

Thus, we can conclude that the new temperature of container is 123 K.
