Question

a 10 liter sample of nitrogen inside a rigid metal container at 10 degree celcius is placed inside an oven whose temp is 50 degree celcius. the pressure inside the container at 20 degree celcius was at 3 atm. what is tha pressure of the nitrogen after ots temperature is increased to 50 degree celcius

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer: 3.31 atm

Explanation:

Given data:

The initial temperature of the container, T₁ = 20℃ = 20+273 = 293 K

The initial pressure of nitrogen inside the container, P₁ = 3.00 atm

The final temperature inside the oven, T₂ = 50℃ = 50+273 = 323 K

To find: the Pressure of nitrogen after its temperature is increased

Let the final pressure of the nitrogen after its temperature is increased be denoted as “P₂”.

According to the Gay Lussac’s Law,

P₁ / T₁ = P₂ / T₂

⇒ 3.00/293 = P2/323

⇒ P₂ = 0.01023 * 323 = 3.307 atm ≈ 3.31 atm

Hence, the pressure of the nitrogen after its temperature is increased to 3.31 atm.
