Asked by Staci
Imagine that a deposit of helium gas has been discovered in Antarctica. It is being shipped to Australia in a rigid (constant volume) tank with a rated max pressure of 100 atm. If the tanks are filled to a pressure of 75 atm in Antarctica on a day when the temp is -100F, will the pressure be within the safety limits if the tanks arrive in Australia on a day when the temp is 90F? Need to show calculations...

Convert -100 F and 90 F to celsius, then to Kelvin
Then use (P1V2)/T1 = (P2V2)/T2
Solve for P2.
Then use (P1V2)/T1 = (P2V2)/T2
Solve for P2.
