An unsealed 750 mL beaker contains 500 mL of very dense gas at 25.0 degrees C and 1.10 atm. The gas is much denser than the surrounding air, so it does not disperse into the air.

Question

(a) At constant pressure, what would the temperature have to reach for the gas to fill the beaker?

(b) At constant temperature, what would the pressure have to reach for the gas to fill the beaker? (assume the liquid will always stay in liquid form)

Answer 1

P1V1/T1=P2V2/T2

a) p1=P2, solve for T2

b) t1=t2, solve for P2
