A gas in a sealed container has a pressure of 50 kPa at 27°C. What will the pressure of the gas be if the temperature rises to 87°C?

the final pressure of the gas is 60 kPa.

Explanation:

Given;

initial pressure of the gas, P₁ = 50 kPa = 50,000 Pa

initial temperature of the gas, T₁ = 27⁰ C = 27 + 273 = 300 k

final temperature of the gas, T₂ = 87⁰ C = 87 + 273 = 360 K

Let the final pressure of the gas = P₂

Apply pressure law;

Therefore, the final pressure of the gas is 60 kPa.
