Given:
Moles of gas, n = 1.50 moles
Volume of cylinder, V = 15.0 L
Initial temperature, T1 = 100 C = (100 + 273)K = 373 K
Final temperature, T2 = 150 C = (150+273)K = 423 K
To determine:
The pressure ratio
Explanation:
Based on ideal gas law:
PV = nRT
P= pressure; V = volume; n = moles; R = gas constant and T = temperature
under constant n and V we have:
P/T = constant
(or) P1/P2 = T1/T2 ---------------Gay Lussac's law
where P1 and P2 are the initial and final pressures respectively
substituting for T1 and T2 we get:
P1/P2 = 373/423 = 0.882
Thus, the ratio of P2/P1 = 1.13
Ans: The pressure ratio is 1.13
