An ideal gas at 2 atm, 4 L and 300 K is changed to 3 L and 900 K. What is the new pressure in atm?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. 8 atm
- Step 1: For a fixed amount of an ideal gas is constant.
- Step 2: atm.
Answer
8 atm.
Why not the others: 8/9 atm: the temperature ratio is inverted. 9/2 atm: the volume ratio is inverted.
