Question

The gas inside of a container exerts `8 Pa` of pressure and is at a temperature of `210 ^o K`. If the temperature of the gas changes to `35 ^oC` with no change in the container's volume, what is the new pressure of the gas?

Answer 1

`P_f=11.73" "Pa`

Explanation:

`P_i=8" "Pa" initial pressure"`

`T_1=210" "^o K" initial temperature"`

`T_2=35" "^o C" ; "T_2=35+273=308 " "^o K`

`P_f=?" final pressure"`

`P_i/T_i=P_f/T_f`

`8/210=P_f/308`

`P_f=(8*308)/210`

`P_f=11.73" "Pa`
