Question

Marshall determines that a gas has a gage pressure of 276 kPa. What's the absolute pressure of this gas?

A. 326 kPa
B. 156 kPa
C. 376 kPa
D. 176 kPa

Answer 1

C.... 376 tbh just took the test and was right

Answer 2

Answer: The absolute pressure is 376 kPa.

Explanation :

The absolute pressure of a gas is defined as the sum of gauge pressure and the atmospheric pressure.

We know that the atmospheric pressure of a gas is 101.3 kPa.

So, Absolute pressure becomes 276 kPa + 101.3 kPa = 377.3 kPa

Approximately it can be written as, 376 kPa.

So, the correct option is (C) " 376 kPa ".

Hence, this is the required solution.
