Question

If a sample of oxygen gas has a pressure of 810 torr at 298 K, what will be its pressure if its temperature is raised to 330 K?

Answer 1

The pressure is `=897`torr

Explanation:

We use Gay Lussac's Law

`P_1/T_1=P_2/T_2`

`P_1=810`torr

`T_1=298K`

`T_2=330K`

`P_2=P_1/T_1*T_2=810/298*330=897` torr
