Question

Suppose that an ideal gas in a sealed metal container (so it has a fixed volume) has its temperature increased by a factor of 4.78x. By what factor would the pressure of the gas increase or decrease in the container?

Answer 1

Here, the volume is constant as the metal container is sealed.

The temperature increased by a factor of 4.78x.

According to ideal gas law,

`\text{P}\propto T`

Here, P is the pressure and T is the temperature.

As the temperature increases by 4.78x, so the pressure will increase by 4.78x.
