Question

A sample of gas has a pressure of 100.0 KPa and 25C. Calculate the pressure if the temperature is changed to 125C while the volume remains constant.

Answer 1

133.56kPa

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying Pressure Law,

P/T = P'/T'....................... Equation 1

Where P = Initial pressure, T = Initial Temperature, P' = Final pressure, T' = Final Temperature.

From the question, we were asked to calculate P'

There, we make P' the subject of the equation

P' = PT'/T...................... Equation 2

Given: P = 100kPa, T = 25°C = (273+25) = 298K, T' = 125°C = (273+1250K = 398 K

Substitute these values into equation 2

P' = (100×398)/298

P' = 133.56kPa

Hence the pressure is 133.56kPa
