A sealed cylinder of gas contains nitrogen gas at 1.00 ✕ 103 kPa pressure and a temperature of 28°C. The cylinder is left in the sun, and the temperature of the gas increases to 50.°C. What is the new pressure in the cylinder?

P1V1/T1=P2V2/T2

P2=T2/T1*P1V1/V2 and v1=v2 so

P2=(273+50)/(273+28) * 1E3kPa
8.75
