Question

Gay-Lussac

e
A 10.0 L sample of nitrogen inside a rigid metal container at 25.0 degrees
Celsius is placed inside an oven whose temperature is 47 degrees Celsius. The
pressure inside the container at 25.0 degrees Celsius was at 9 atm. What is the
pressure of the nitrogen after its temperature is increased? Round to the
nearest tenth if needed.

PLEASE!!

Answer 1

Gay-Lussac's formula is used when we have two situation involving temperature and pressure, and we have to use the situation 1 to find the missing value in situation 2, like we have in our question:

P1/T1 = P2/T2, this is the formula, where:

P = pressure

T = temperature

We already have

P1 = 9 atm

T1 = 25 °C

P2 = ?

T2 = 47 °C

Now let's use these values in our formula:

9/25 = P2/47

P2 = 17 atm

This makes sense, since if we increase the temperature we will also have an increase of pressure, only if we have constant volume
