Question

If a gas in a container with a fixed volume has a pressure of 748 torr at 15°C, the pressure will

double at__ °C

Answer 1

576K

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula

P1/T1 = P2/T2

Where;

P1 = initial pressure (torr)

P2 = final pressure (torr)

T1 = initial temperature (K)

T2 = final temperature (K)

According to the information provided in this question,

P1 = 748 torr

P2 = 1496 torr

T1 = 15°C = 15 + 273 = 288K

T2 = ?

Using P1/T1 = P2/T2

T2 = P2T1/P1

T2 = (1496 × 288) ÷ 748

T2 = 430848 ÷ 748

T2 = 576K
