Question

9. If the volume is constant, the pressure of a gas in a container varies directly as the

temperature. (Temperature must be measured in kelvins (K), a unit of measurement used
in physics.). If the pressure is 8 pounds per square inch at a temperature of 500 K, what
is the pressure at a temperature of 600 K?

Answer 1

the pressure at a temperature of 600 K is 9.6 pounds per square inch.

Explanation:

If the pressure of a gas in a container varies directly as the temperature, then we can use the formula P1/T1 = P2/T2, where P1 is the initial pressure, T1 is the initial temperature, P2 is the final pressure, and T2 is the final temperature.

Using the values given in the problem, we can write:

8/500 = P2/600

Solving for P2, we get:

P2 = (8/500) * 600 = 9.6 pounds per square inch

Therefore, the pressure at a temperature of 600 K is 9.6 pounds per square inch.
