Question

If the pressure of a gas is 1.01 atm and the temperature is 25°C, then if the pressure is increased to 1.10, what is the new temperature?

Answer 1

T2 = 51.6°C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

P1 = 1.01 atm

T1 = 25°C + 273 = 298K

P2 = 1.10 atm

T2 = ?

P1/T1 = P2/T2

Solving for T2,

T2 = (P2/P1)T1

= (1.10 atm/1.01 atm)(298K)

= 324.6 K

= 51.6°C

where Tc = Tk - 273
