A sample of a gas has a pressure of 1.26 bar at 58.0∘
c. What is the pressure of the gas at 118∘C?

Respuesta :

According to Gay-Lussac's law of pressure–temperature: pressure (P) of gas is directly proportional to temperature (T).

The formula is given by:

[tex]\frac{P}{T}=k (constant))[/tex] or,

[tex]\frac{P_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{P_{2}}{T_{2}}[/tex]              (1)

[tex]P_{1}[/tex] (Pressure of gas) =1.26 bar

[tex]T_{1}[/tex] (temperature of gas) =[tex]58.0^{o}C[/tex]

[tex]P_{2}[/tex] (Pressure of gas) =?

[tex]T_{2}[/tex] (temperature of gas) =[tex]118.0^{o}C[/tex]

Substitute the above values in formula (1)

[tex]\frac{1.26 bar}{58.0^{o}C}=\frac{P_{2}}{118.0^{o}C}[/tex]  

[tex]\frac{1.26 bar}{58.0^{o}C}=\frac{P_{2}}{118.0^{o}C}[/tex]

Convert [tex]^{o}C[/tex] into kelvin

[tex]\frac{1.26 bar}{(58.0^{o}C +273 )}\times (118.0^{o}C+273 )= P_{2}[/tex]

[tex]P_{2} =\frac{1.26 bar}{331 K}\times (391 K) [/tex]

= [tex]1.488 bar \simeq 1.49 bar[/tex]

Thus, pressure of the gas at [tex]118.0^{o}C[/tex] is 1.49 bar.
