Question

The contents of the cylinder is then entirely transfered to a partially filled holding tank of volume 10,000 L originally at presure 2 atm and 300 K. What is the new pressure in the holding tank at 300 K?

Answer 1

The new pressure in the holding tank is 2 atm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Volume = 10000 L

Initial pressure 2 atm

Initial temperature = 300 k

We need to calculate the new pressure

Using equation of ideal gas

`PV=RT`

`R=(PV)/(T)`

Where,P = pressure

T = temperature

V = volume

R = constant

Put the value into the formula

Volume of gas are remain constant

So,

`(P_(i)V)/(T_(i))=(P_(f)V)/(T_(f))`

`(2*10000)/(300)=(P_(f)*10000)/(300)`

`P_(f)=2\ atm`

Hence, The new pressure in the holding tank is 2 atm.
