The initial pressure of the fixed volume of the hydrogen gas as the pressure and temperature decreased is 1.17atm.
What is Gay-Lussac's law?
Gay-Lussac's law states that the pressure exerted by a given quantity of gas varies directly with the absolute temperature of the gas.
It is expressed as;
P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂
Given the data in the question;
- Initial pressure P₁ = ?
- Initial temperature T₁ = 30.0°C = 303.15K
- Final pressure P₂ = 1.11atm
- Initial temperature T₂ = 15.0°C = 288.15K
We substitute our values into the expression above.
P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂
P₁T₂ = P₂T₁
P₁ = P₂T₁ / T₂
P₁ = ( 1.11atm × 303.15K ) / 288.15K
P₁ = 336.4965 / 288.15K
P₁ = 1.17atm
Therefore, the initial pressure of the fixed volume of the hydrogen gas as the pressure and temperature decreased is 1.17atm.
