The pressure of nitrogen gas at 35°C is changed from 0.89 atm to 4.3 atm. What will be its final temperature in Kelvin?

Respuesta :

Answer: The final temperature in Kelvin is 1488

Explanation:

To calculate the final temperature 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=0.89atm\\T_1=35^0C=(35+273)K=308K\\P_2=4.3atm\\T_2=?[/tex]

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]\frac{0.89}{308}=\frac{4.3}{T_2}\\\\T_2=1488K[/tex]

Hence, the final temperature in Kelvin is 1488
