Question

You are confronted with the following question: One mole of an ideal gas is sealed in a 22.4- container at a pressure of 1 and a temperature of 273 . The temperature is then increased to 305 , but the container does not expand. What will the new pressure be?

Part A

The most appropriate formula for solving this problem includes which variables?

Answer 1

Pv=nRT

for both the initial and final state.

Only thing your changing are temperature and since moles, R and volume are constant pressure must change.

Thus P1/T1=P2/T2

P2=P1*T2/T1

Answer 2

1.12 atm
