A sample of gas in a closed container at a temperature of 100oC and 3 atm is heated to 300oC. What is the pressure of the gas at the higher temperature?

6.14 atm

Explanation:

Initial temperature (T₁) = 100 °C

Initial pressure (P₁) = 4 atm

Final temperature (T₂) = 300 °C

Final pressure (P₂) =?

NOTE: Volume = constant (since the system is a closed system)

Next, we shall convert celsius temperature to Kelvin temperature. This can be obtained as follow:

T(K) = T(°C) + 273

Initial temperature (T₁) = 100 °C

Initial temperature (T₁) = 100 °C + 273 = 373 K

Final temperature (T₂) = 300 °C

Final temperature (T₂) = 300 °C + 273 = 573 K

Finally, we shall determine the pressure at the highest temperature as follow:

Initial temperature (T₁) = 373 K

Initial pressure (P₁) = 4 atm

Final temperature (T₂) = 573 K

Final pressure (P₂) =?

P₁ / T₁ = P₂ / T₂

4 / 373 = P₂ / 573

Cross multiply

373 × P₂ = 4 × 573

373 × P₂ = 2292

Divide both side by 373

P₂ = 2292 / 373

P₂ = 6.14 atm

Thus, the pressure at the highest temperature is 6.14 atm

periodic trends is an atom that gets larger as the number of electronic shells increase, the radius of atoms increases as you go down a certain group in the periodic table of elements. in general, the size of an atom will decrease as you move from left to right of a certain period.
