Question

A quantity of a gas has an absolute pressure of 400 kPa and an absolute temperature of 110 degrees kelvin. When the temperature of the gas is raised to 235 degrees kelvin, what is the new pressure of the gas? (Assume that there's no change in volume.) A. 854.46 kPa B. 510 kPa C. 3.636 kPa D. 1.702 kPa

Answer 1

A) 854.46 kPa

Step-by-step explanation:

P₁ = initial pressure of the gas = 400 kPa

P₂ = final pressure of the gas = ?

T₁ = initial temperature of the gas = 110 K

T₂ = final temperature of the gas = 235 K

Using the equation

`(P_(1))/(T_(1))=(P_(2))/(T_(2))`

Inserting the values

`(400)/(110)=(P_(2))/(235)`

P₂ = 854.46 kPa
