A sample of ideal gas is in a sealed container. The pressure of the gas is 265 torr and the temperature is 1 degree C. If the temperature changes to 99 degree C with no change in volume or amount of gas, what is the new pressure, P_2, of the gas inside the container? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
Expert Answer
Answer
P1 = 255 torr
T1 = 1 + 273 = 274 K
T2 = 99 + 273 = 372 K
P2 = ?
P1 / T1 = P2 / T2
255 / 274 = P2 / 372
