Question

a metal tank with a volume of 3.10 L will burst if the absolute pressure of the gas exceeds 100 atm. If 11 mol of an ideal gas is put into the tank at a temperature of 23.0 C, to what temperature can the gas be warmed before the tank ruptures? Neglect the thermal expansion of the tank.

Does the PV=nRT formula work for this question?

Answer 1

yes, that will work, be certain to use kelvins

Answer 2

So pressure will be 100 atm.
Volume will be 3.10 L
Temperature will be 296 K
n will be 11 moles
R will be 0.0821 (L*atm)/(mol*K)

There is no unknown to solve for?
I am confused..

Answer 3

Temperature is unknown, you are looking for that.

T=PV/nR
