Answer:
1.53 atm
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.
