Question

When the pressure that a gas exerts on a sealed container, with a temperature of 325 k, changes from 767 mm Hg to 800 mm Hg, what will the new temperature be?

Answer 1

339 K

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Gay Lussacs law gives the relationship between pressure and temperature of gas. It states that for a fixed amount of gas the pressure is directly proportional to temperature at constant volume.
P/T = k
where P - pressure , T - temperature and k - constant

`(P1)/(T1) = (P2)/(T2)`
parameters for the first instance are on the left side and parameters for the second instance are on the right side of the equation
substituting these values in the equation

`(767mmHg)/(325K) = (800mmHg)/(T)`
T = 339 K
new temperature is 339 K
