Question

One way to heat a gas is to compress it. A gas at 3.0 atm at 27°C is compressed to three tenths of its original volume, and it reaches 35 atm pressure. What is its new temperature?

Answer 1

T =3227 °C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

P1 = 3.0 atm

T1 = 27 degree celcius

P2 = 35 atm

from ideal gas equation

PV/T=const

`(P_1 V_1)/(T_1) =(P_2 V_2)/(T_2)`

`(3*V)/((27+273))=(35*V*10)/(T)`

solving for T WE GET

[/tex]0.01V = \frac{350V}{T}[/tex]

T=3500K

T=3500-273=3227 °C

T =3227 °C
