a flask of 5 litres capacity can with stand a pressure of 10atm and is filled co2 at 27°c and 760mm of hg pressure. at what temperature will it explode on heating

3000 K (2727°C)

Explanation:

Ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

Rearranging:

P/T = nR/V

Since n, R, and V are constant:

P₁ / T₁ = P₂ / T₂

Given:

P₁ = 760 mmHg = 1 atm

T₁ = 27°C = 300 K

P₂ = 10 atm

(1 atm) / (300 K) = (10 atm) / T₂

T₂ = 3000 K

The flask will explode when heated to 3000 K (2727°C).
