A gas sample has a pressure of 2.35atmwhen the temperature is -15°C. What is the final pressure, in atmospheres, when the temperature is 46°C, with no change in the volume or amount of gas?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The final pressure of the gas is 2.9atm.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

We need to find the final temperature of the gas.

02

Simplify

Considering the Gay- Lussac's Law that if a constant volume and amount of gas are maintained, the pressure will be increased. In the temperature-pressure relationship which is known as Gay-Lussac's law, the pressure of a gas decreases, and a decrease in temperature decreases the pressure of the gas till the volume of the gas doesn't change. i.e.

P1T1=P2T2...1

03

Calculation

Here we have the quantities available, that is

the initial temperature T1=-15°C=-15+273K=258K

initial pressure P1=2.35atm

the final temperature T2=46°C=46+273K=319K

Now, calculating the final pressure P2from the equation 1

P1T1=P2T2P2=P1×T2T1

Putting the values:

P2=2.35atm×319K258KP2=749.65atm258=2.9atm

The final pressure is 2.9atm.

A weather balloon is partially filled with helium to allow for expansion at high altitudes. At STP, a weather balloon is filled with enough helium to give a volume of 25.0L. At an altitude of 30.0kmand -35°C, it has expanded to 2460L. The increase in volume cause it to burst and a small parachute returns the instruments to Earth.

a. How many grams of helium are added to the balloon?

b. What is the final pressure, in millimeters of mercury, of the helium inside the balloon when it bursts?

You are doing research on the planet X. The temperature inside the space station is carefully controlled 24°Cand the pressure is 775mmHg. Suppose that a balloon, which has a volume of 850mLinside the space station, is placed into the airlock, and floats out to planet X. If the planetXhas an atmospheric pressure of 0.150atmand the volume of the balloon changes to 3.22L, what is the temperature, in degree Celsius, on the planet X( ndoes not change)?(8.5)
