Answer: The new pressure is 7.1 atm
Explanation:
To calculate the final pressure of the system, we use the equation given by Gay-Lussac Law. This law states that pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.
Mathematically,
[tex]\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}[/tex]
where,
[tex]P_1\text{ and }T_1[/tex] are the initial pressure and temperature of the gas.
[tex]P_2\text{ and }T_2[/tex] are the final pressure and temperature of the gas.
We are given:
[tex]P_1=6.5atm\\T_1=22^0C=(22+273)K=295K\\P_2=?\\T_2=50^0C=(50+273)K=323K[/tex]
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]\frac{6.5}{295}=\frac{P_2}{323}\\\\P_2=7.1[/tex]
Hence, the new pressure is 7.1 atm
