A sealed rigid container holds gas at and . The gas is heated to . What is the new pressure?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B.
- Step 1: At constant volume, is constant (temperatures in kelvin).
- Step 2: Pa.
Answer
.
Why not the others: : inverts the temperature ratio. : adds the temperature change to the pressure. : squares the temperature ratio.
