Question

If a gas is at a pressure of 46 mm Hg and temperature of 640 K, what would be the temperature if the pressure was raised to 760 mm Hg?

Answer 1

10573.9K

Step-by-step explanation:

Using pressure law equation;

P1/T1 = P2/T2

Where;

P1 = initial pressure (mmHg)

P2 = final pressure (mmHg)

T1 = initial temperature (K)

T2 = final temperature (K)

According to the information provided in this question,

P1 = 46mmHg

P2 = 760mmHg

T1 = 640K

T2 = ?

Using P1/T1 = P2/T2

46/640 = 760/T2

Cross multiply

640 × 760 = 46 × T2

486400 = 46T2

T2 = 486400 ÷ 46

T2 = 10573.9K
