Question

It is found, on heating a gas, its volume increases by 50% and pressure decreases to 60% of its original value. If the original temperature was -15°C, find the temperature to which it was heated?

KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

Initial conditions [S.T.P.] : P₁ = Initial pressure of the gas = P V₁ = Initial volume of the gas = V T₁ = Initial temperature of the gas = -15°C = -15 + 273 = 258 K Final conditions : P₂ (Final pressure) = pressure decreases to 60% of its original value = of P = P V₂ (Final volume) = volume increases by 50% of its original value = 1 + of V = of V = of V = V T₂ (Final temperature) = ? By Gas Law: Substituting the values : ∴ Final temperature of the gas = 232.2 - 273 = -40.8°C
