A gas confined in a 515cm3 container exerts a pressure of 107.4kPa at 38.6⁰C. At what Celsius temperature will it exert a pressure of 635.7kPa if it is placed into a 644cm3 container?

Respuesta :

Answer: The temperature at pressure of 635.7 kPa is [tex]2033^0C[/tex]

Explanation:

The combined gas equation is,

[tex]\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}[/tex]

where,

[tex]P_1[/tex] = initial pressure of gas = 107.4 kPa

[tex]P_2[/tex] = final pressure of gas = 635.7 kPa

[tex]V_1[/tex] = initial volume of gas = [tex]515cm^3[/tex]

[tex]V_2[/tex] = final volume of gas = [tex]644cm^3[/tex]

[tex]T_1[/tex] = initial temperature of gas = [tex]38.6^0C=(38.6+273)K=311.6K[/tex]

= final temperature of gas = ?

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

[tex]\frac{107.4\times 515}{311.6}=\frac{635.7\times 644}{T_2}[/tex]

[tex]T_2=2306K=(2306-273)^0C=2033^0C[/tex]

The temperature at pressure of 635.7 kPa is  [tex]2033^0C[/tex]
