Question

You have a gas at a volume of 9.71 L at a pressure of 209 torr and at 10.1 °C. What
temperature (in °C) would the gas need to reach at constant volume to reach
364 torr? 760 torr = 1 atm

Answer 1

Answer:

219.95 °C

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of gas = 9.71 L

Initial pressure = 209 torr (209/760 = 0.275 atm)

Initial temperature = 10.1 °C (10.1 +273 = 283.1 K)

Final temperature = ?

Final pressure = 364 torr (364/760 =0.479 atm)

Solution:

According to Gay-Lussac Law,

The pressure of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant volume and number of moles.

Mathematical relationship:

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

Now we will put the values in formula:

0.275 atm / 283.1 K = 0.479 atm/T₂

T₂ = 0.479 atm × 283.1 K/ 0.275 atm

T₂ = 135.6 atm. K /0.275 atm

T₂ = 493.1 K

Kelvin to °C:

493.1 K - 273.15 = 219.95 °C
