a container of gas has a pressure of 1.45 atm at a temperature of 52 degrees celsius, if the pressure increases to 4.2 atm what would be the final temperature of the volume is held constant?

941 K (668°C)

Explanation:

We have the following data:

Initial pressure : P1 = 1.45 atm

Initial temperature: T1 = 52°C + 273 = 325 K

Final pressure: P2 = 4.2 atm

Final temperature: T2 = ?

The relation between pressure and temperature for a gas at constant volume is given by Gay-Lussac's law:

P1/T1 = P2/T2

That means that the pressure is directly proportional to the absolute temperature (in K). So, we calculate T2 from the equation:

T2 = P2 x T1/P1 = 4.2 atm x (325 K/1.45 atm) = 941 K

Therefore, the final temperature would be 941 K (668°C). This is consistent with the law, that states that if the pressure increase, the temperature will be increased.  

here we have to get the change of moles on decrease the volume of the reaction in gas phase.

the   per the given options it will decrease by (d) 11-50%

we know, on decreasing the volume of the gas phase reaction the reaction moves to the product side.

the reaction:                     so₂cl₂ (g) = so₂ (g) + cl₂ (g)         total

the moles at equilibrium:   1 - α                 α               α           = 1+α

concentrations:                   1 - α               α               α           = 1 + α

(concentration = moles/volume, as volume is 1 l)

(where α is the degree of dissociation)

now the dissociation constant in terms of concentration is :

=  

or,

or,   = (at v = 1l)

the reaction:                     so₂cl₂ (g) = so₂ (g) + cl₂ (g)         total

the moles at equilibrium:   1 - α                 α               α           = 1+α

concentrations:               (1 - α)/0.5           α/0.5         α/0.5       = (1 + α)/0.5

thus, the dissociation constant in terms of concentration is :

or,  

=  

so, the change of 1 : 1/0.5

or, 1: 2

thus it will decrease by 50%.

or, as per the given options it will decrease by 11-50%

answer; /// i do believe that the correct answer is (a) boiling
