Answer:
537.68 torr.
Explanation:
- We can use the general law of ideal gas: PV = nRT.
where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.
V is the volume of the gas in L.
n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.
R is the general gas constant,
T is the temperature of the gas in K.
- If n and V are constant, and have different values of P and T:
(P₁T₂) = (P₂T₁).
P₁ = 485 torr, T₁ = 40°C + 273 = 313 K,
P₂ = ??? torr, T₂ = 74°C + 273 = 347 K.
∴ P₂ = (P₁T₂)/(P₁) = (485 torr)(347 K)/(313 K) = 537.68 torr.
