A certain light bulb
containing argon at 1.25 atm and 18°C is heated to 85°C at constant volume. Calculate its final pressure (in
atm).
Answers
Answer:
The resulting pressure : 1.48 atm and enough to cause sudden break age of the bulb
Further explanation
There are several gas equations in various processes:
Based on Gay Lussac's Law
When the volume is not changed (constant), the gas pressure is proportional to its absolute temperature
\rm \dfrac{P_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2}{T_2}

Light bulb containing argon gas, pressure 1.20 ATM at 18 ° c healed to 85 ° c at constant volume
Known
P1 = 1.20 atm
T1 = 18 °C + 273 = 291 K
T2 = 85 °C + 273 = 358 K
Asked
P2
Answer:
Explanation:
- p1 = 1.25atm p2 =
- t1 = 18°c t2 = 85 + 273
= 358k
pressure is directly propotional to temperature
p1 / t1 = p2 / t2
p2 =p1 × t2 / t1
1.25atm × 358k / 291k
p2 = 1.53atm
