A gas at pressure PN-m^-2 and temperature 27°C is heated to 77°C at constant volume.The new pressure is?

Sagot :

Given,

The initial pressure of the gas, P₁=P N/m²

The initial temperature of the gas, T₁=27 °C=300.15 K

The final temperature of the gas, T₂=77 °C=350.15 K

Let the new pressure of the gas be P₂

From Gay-Lussac's law,

[tex]\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}[/tex]

On substituting the known values,

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{P}{300.15}=\frac{P_2}{350.15} \\ \Rightarrow P_2=\frac{P}{300.15}\times350.15 \\ P_2=1.17P \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore the new pressure will be 1.17 times the initial pressure, i.e., 1.17 P
