Question

A 10L gas container is designed to hold gasses with a pressure of up to 5000mmHg. If a gas sample that has a pressure of 600mmHg at -20°C is placed in the container, at what temperature will the container burst? (Guy-Lussac's Law)

Answer 1

Explanation:

First, let's review the ideal gas law, PV = nRT. In this equation, 'P' is the pressure in atmospheres, 'V' is the volume in liters, 'n' is the number of particles in moles, 'T' is the temperature in Kelvin and 'R' is the ideal gas constant (0.0821 liter atmospheres per moles Kelvin).
