6. Initially, a sample of nitrogen gas is found in a pressure of 4.62 atm under the temperature of 27.0℃. Find the change in temperature of the gas when the pressure is increased to 5.59 atm.

Answer: ΔT = 62.98

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be done using Gay Lusac's Law which states that Pressure is proportional to temperature

So, we take p1 = 4.62 atm, t1 = (27+273)°K, p2 = 5.59 atm, t2=?

now, P1/T1 = P2/T2

From here find out T2 which would be in Kelvin and then subtract 273 to convert it into celsius. Then find the difference between T1 and T2 and you should have your answer.
