Homework Answers

Answer #1

According to ideal gas equation, PV = n*RT

(a)

Keeping the temperature constant, we have :

P1V1 = P2V2

Putting values we get :
4.9*3.5 = P2*1.3

Thus, P2 = 13.19 atm

Thus, extra pressure required = 13.19-4.9 = 8.29 atm

(b)

Keeping the pressure constant, we have :

V1/T1 = V2/T2

T1 = -57 C = -57+273 = 216 K

Putting values we get :
2.5/216 = 5.4/T2

Thus, T2 = 466.56 K = 193.56 C

(c)

Keeping the temperature constant, we have :

P1V1 = P2V2

Putting values we get :
145*4.7 = P2*1.08

Thus, P2 = 631 torr

Thus, extra pressure required = 631-145 = 486 torr
