Question

A can of soda gets left in the car on a hot summer day. When the can was placed in the car it had an internal temperature of 10

and pressure of 2.07 atm. If the can heats up to 47.6 what will the pressure inside the can be? Remember to convert to Kelvin! (Report your answers to 2 decimal places)

Answer 1

2.35 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Ideal Gas Equation,

• P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

Here :

• P₁ = 2.07 atm
• T₁ = 10 °C = 283 K
• T₂ = 47.6 °C = 320.6 K

Solving :

• P₂ = P₁T₂/T₁
• P₂ = 2.07 x 320.6 / 283
• P₂ = 663.642/283
• P₂ = 2.35 atm (rounded to 2 DP)
