Question

The pressure of a gas in a rigid container is 125kpa at 300k, what we be the new pressure if the temperature increases to 900k​

Answer 1

Answer:

375 KPa

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial pressure (P₁) = 125 KPa

Initial temperature (T₁) = 300 K

Final temperature (T₂) = 900 K

Final pressure (P₂) =?

The new (i.e final) pressure of the gas can be obtained as follow:

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

125 / 300 = P₂ / 900

Cross multiply

300 × P₂ = 125 × 900

300 × P₂ = 112500

Divide both side by 300

P₂ = 112500 / 300

P₂ = 375 KPa

Thus, the new pressure of the gas is 375 KPa
