Cyclopropane, C3H6, is used as a general anesthetic. If a sample of cyclopropane stored in a 2.36-L container at 10.0 atm and 25.0°C is transferred to a 7.79-L container at 5.56 atm, what is the resulting temperature

Respuesta :

The resulting temperature : 546.91 K = 273.91 °C

Further explanation

Boyle's law and Gay Lussac's law  

[tex]\tt \dfrac{P_1.V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2.V_2}{T_2}[/tex]

P1 = initial gas pressure (N/m² or Pa)  

V1 = initial gas volume (m³)  

P2 = final gas pressure  

V2 = the final volume of gas  

T1 = initial gas temperature (K)  

T2 = final gas temperature  

P₁=10 atm

V₁=2.36 L

T₁=25+273=298 K

P₂=5.56 atm

V₂=7.79 L

[tex]\tt T_2=\dfrac{P_2.V_2.T_1}{P_1.V_1}\\\\T_2=\dfrac{5.56.\times 7.79\times 298}{10\times 2.36}\\\\T_2=546.91~K=273.91^oC[/tex]
