Question

The temperature of a sample of gas at 8.5 atm and 59.2 °C increases to 140.0 °C. If the
volume is unchanged, what is the new gas pressure?
Select one:
O a. 10.6
Ob. 20.1
Oc. 6.84
Od. 119

Answer 1

Answer:

since that's the closest option we have

10.6atm

Explanation:

Since volume is constant

P1/T1 = P2/T1

P1 =8.5atm

T1 = 59.2°C = 332.2k

T2 = 140°C = 413k

P2 = ?

8.5/332.2 = P2/413

0.026 = P2/413

P2 = 0.026 x 413

P2 = 10.74atm
