Question

The final temperature and pressure in a container is 234K at 210 kPa.

If initial temperature was 175 K, what was the starting pressure?

Answer 1

Initial pressure = 157 kpa (Approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

final temperature = 234 K

final pressure = 210 kpa

Initial temperature = 175 K

Find:

Initial pressure

Computation:

Initial pressure / Initial temperature = final pressure / final temperature

Initial pressure / 175 = 210 / 234

Initial pressure = 157 kpa (Approx)
