The volume of an ideal gas is held constant. Determine the ratio P2/P1 of the final pressure to the initial pressure when the temperature of the gas rises (a) from 46 to 92 K and (b) from 35.4 to 69.0 oC.

Answer:

A. P₂ / P₁ = 2

B. P₂ / P₁ = 1.1

Explanation:

A. Determination of the ratio P₂/P₁

Volume = constant

Initial temperature (T₁) = 46 K

Final temperature (T₂) = 92 K

Final pressure /Initial pressure (P₂/P₁) =?

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

P₁/46 = P₂/92

Cross multiply

46 × P₂ = P₁ × 92

Divide both side by P₁

46 × P₂ / P₁ = 92

Divide both side by 46

P₂ / P₁ = 92 / 46

P₂ / P₁ = 2

B. Determination of the ratio P₂/P₁

Volume = constant

Initial temperature (T₁) = 35.4 °C = 35.4 + 273 = 308.4 K

Final temperature (T₂) = 69.0 °C = 69 + 273 = 342 K

Final pressure /Initial pressure (P₂/P₁) =?

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

P₁/308.4 = P₂/342

Cross multiply

308.4 × P₂ = P₁ × 342

Divide both side by P₁

308.4 × P₂ / P₁ = 342

Divide both side by 308.4

P₂ / P₁ = 342 / 308.4

P₂ / P₁ = 1.1
