To what temperature must a gas at 273k be heated in order to double both its volume and pressure?
298K
546K
819K
1092K
Explanation
Given:
T\(_1\) = 273K ; V\(_1\) = X ; P\(_1\) = Y
T\(_2\) = ? ; V\(_2\) = 2X P\(_2\) = 2Y ( Remember we were told the volume and pressure were doubled )
We also represented V\(_1\) and P\(_1\) to be X and Y respective,y since we were not given.
Using the formula: \(\frac{{P_1}{V_1}}{T_1}\) = \(\frac{{P_2}{V_2}}{T_2}\)
T\(_2\) = \(\frac{{P_2}{V_2}{T_1}}{{P_1}{V_1}}\)
= \(\frac{{2Y}\times{2X}\times{273}}{{Y}\times{X}}\)
= 2 x 2 x 273
= 1092 K
