Question

The volume of a gas is 0.05 L at 20.0 K. What will be the new temperature if the gas is compressed to 0.01 L under constant pressure?

Answer 1

4.0 x 10 atm

In a thermonuclear device, the pressure of 0.050 liters of gas within the bomb casing reaches 4.0 x 10 atm. When the bomb casing is destroyed by the explosion, the gas is released into the atmosphere where it reaches a pressure of 1.00 atm.
