Question

If oxygen gas at 118 °C and 10.8 atm was heated to 948 °C, what would the new
pressure be?

Answer 1

Answer: The new pressure is 1.34 atm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:
`P_(1)` = 10.8 atm,
`T_(1) = 118^(o)C`

`P_(2)` = ?,
`T_(2) = 948^(o)C`

Formula used to calculate the new pressure is as follows.

`(P_(1))/(T_(1)) = (P_(2))/(T_(2))\\(10.8 atm)/(118^(o)C) = (P_(2))/(948^(o)C)\\P_(2) = 1.34 atm`

Thu, we can conclude that the new pressure is 1.34 atm.
