A gas is heated from 298 K to 367 K while its volume changes from 2.5 L to 3.9 L. If the initial pressure of the gas is 1.1 atm, what is the final pressure of the gas?

Respuesta :

This problem can be solved using one of the different gas laws, which is shown below:

PV/T

Given:

P1 = 1.1 atm
V1 = 2.5 L
T1 = 298 K

P2 = ?
V2 = 3.9 L
T2 = 367 K

Substituting the given:

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

(1.1 * 2.5)/298 = (P2 * 3.9)/367
P2 = 0.868 atm

The answer is 0.87 atm
