Question

The pressure inside a hydrogen-filled container was 2.10 atmatm at 21 ∘C∘C. What would the pressure be if the container was heated to 93 ∘C∘C ? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Answer 1

2.61atm

Step-by-step explanation:

The following were obtained from the question given:

P1 = 2.1atm

T1 = 21°C = 21 + 273 =294K

T2 = 93°C = 93 + 273 = 366K

P2 =?

Using P1/T1 = P2/T2, we can calculate for the new pressure as follows:

P1/T1 = P2/T2

2.1 / 294 = P2 / 366

Cross multiply to express in linear form

294 x P2 = 2.1 x 366

Divide both side by 294

P2 = (2.1 x 366) / 294

P2 = 2.61atm
