Question 2

4 pts
Inside a car that was at STP, a 0.95 L bottle warms up to 144 C. If the volume of the bottle
remains constant, what is the pressure, in atm, inside the hot water bottle?

Answer:

1.53 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Volume = constant

Initial pressure (P₁) = stp = 1 atm

Initial temperature (T₁) = 273 K

Final temperature (T₂) = 144 °C = 144 °C + 273 = 417 K

Final pressure (P₂) =?

Since the volume is constant, the final pressure can be obtained as follow:

P₁ / T₁ = P₂ / T₂

1 / 273 = P₂ / 417

Cross multiply

273 × P₂ = 417

Divide both side by 273

P₂ = 417 / 273

P₂ = 1.53 atm

Therefore, the final pressure (i.e the pressure inside the hot water bottle) is 1.53 atm.
