Gas stored in a tank at 273 K has a pressure of 388 kPa. The safe limit for the pressure is 825 kPa. At what temperature will the gas reach this pressure?

Answer:

At 580.4 K of temperature will the gas reach a pressure of 825kPa

Step-by-step explanation:

If the gas is stored in a tank, at 273K (as initial temperature) let's apply Charles Gay Lussac law, where the volume doesn't change and the number of moles neither.

If the volume keeps on constant, pressure is been modified directly proportional to absolute T°.

P1 / T°1 = P2 / T°2

388kPa / 273K = 825kPa / T°2

(388kPa / 273K) . T°2 = 825kPa

T°2= 825kPa . 273K/388 kPa

T°2 = 580.4K
