130 cm of a gas at 20°C exerts a pressure of
750 mm Hg. Calculate its pressure if its volume
is increased to 150 cm3 at 35 °C.​

Answer: The pressure is 1137.5 mm Hg its pressure if its volume is increased to 150 [tex]cm^{3}[/tex] at 35 °C

Explanation:

Given: [tex]P_{1}[/tex] = 750 mm Hg,    [tex]V_{1} = 130 cm^{3}[/tex],     [tex]T_{1} = 20^{o}C[/tex]

[tex]P_{2}[/tex] = ?,          [tex]V_{2} = 150 cm^{3}[/tex],            [tex]T_{2} = 35^{o}C[/tex]

Formula used to calculate the new pressure is as follows.

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

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

[tex]\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}\\\frac{750 mm Hg \times 130 cm^{3}}{20^{o}C} = \frac{P_{2} \times 150 cm^{3}}{35^{o}C}\\P_{2} = 1137.5 mm Hg[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that the pressure is 1137.5 mm Hg its pressure if its volume is increased to 150 [tex]cm^{3}[/tex] at 35 °C.
