Question

A gas has a pressure of 1.34 atm when the temperature is 237K. The gas is then heated until the temperature measures 312K. What will be the new pressure?

Answer 1

The answer for the following question is answered below.

• Therefore the new pressure of the gas is 1.76 atm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial pressure of the gas = 1.34 atm

Initial temperature of the gas = 273 K

final temperature of the gas = 312 K

To solve:

Final temperature of the gas

We know;

From the ideal gas equation

P × V = n × R × T

So;

from the above equation we can say that

P ∝ T

`(P)/(T)` = constant

`(P_(1) )/(P_(2) )` =
`(T_(1) )/(T_(2) )`

Where;

`P_(1)` = initial pressure of a gas

`P_(2)` = final pressure of a gas

`T_(1)` = initial temperature of a gas

`T_(2)` = final temperature of a gas

`P_(2)` =
`(1.34*312)/(237)`

`P_(2)` = 1.76 atm

Therefore the new pressure of the gas is 1.76 atm.
