A tank contains gas at 13.0°C pressurized to 10.0 atm. The temperature of the gas is increased to 95.0°C, and half the gas is removed from the tank. What is the pressure of the remaining gas in the tank?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The pressure of the remaining gas in the tank is 6.4 atm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Temperature T = 13+273=286 K

Pressure = 10.0 atm

We need to calculate the pressure of the remaining gas

Using equation of ideal gas

[tex]PV=nRT[/tex]

For a gas

[tex]P_{1}V_{1}=nRT_{1}[/tex]

Where, P = pressure

V = volume

T = temperature

Put the value in the equation

[tex]10\times V=nR\times286[/tex]....(I)

When the temperature of the gas is increased

Then,

[tex]P_{2}V_{2}=\dfrac{n}{2}RT_{2}[/tex]....(II)

Divided equation (I) by equation (II)

[tex]\dfrac{P_{1}V}{P_{2}V}=\dfrac{nRT_{1}}{\dfrac{n}{2}RT_{2}}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{10\times V}{P_{2}V}=\dfrac{nR\times286}{\dfrac{n}{2}R368}[/tex]

[tex]P_{2}=\dfrac{10\times368}{2\times286}[/tex]

[tex]P_{2}= 6.433\ atm[/tex]

[tex]P_{2}=6.4\ atm[/tex]

Hence, The pressure of the remaining gas in the tank is 6.4 atm.
