what minimum pressure in psi would a 250-ml aerosol can have to withstand if it were to contain 2.50 l of gas measured at 700 torr? assume the temperature remains constant.

Respuesta :

The minimum pressure of ideal gas is 135.36 psi.

We need to know about the ideal gas theory to solve this problem. The ideal gas is assumed that there is no interaction between particles in a gas. It can be determined by the equation

P . V = n . R . T

where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles gas, R is the ideal gas constant (8.31 J/mol.K) and T is temperature.

From the question above, we know that

V₁ = 250 mL = 0.25 L

V₂ = 2.5 L

P₂ = 700 torr

When the initial and final temperature is the same, we can use the ratio of pressure and volume as

P₁ . V₁ = P₂ . V₂

P₁ . 0.25 = 700 . 2.5

P₁ = 7000 torr

convert to psi

P₁ = 7000 torr

P₁ = 7000 / 51.715 psi

P₁ = 135.36 psi
