A gas in a rigid container has a pressure of 3.5 atm at 200. k calculate the pressure at 273 k

4.78atm

Explanation:

From the question, we obtained the following:

P1 (initial pressure) = 3.5 atm

T1 (initial temperature) = 200K

T2 (final temperature) = 273K

P2 (final pressure) = ?

Using P1/T1 = P2/T2, the final pressure can be obtained as shown below:

P1/T1 = P2/T2

3.5/200 = P2/273

Cross multiply to express in linear form as shown below:

200 x P2 = 3.5 x 273

Divide both side by 200

P2 = (3.5 x 273) / 200

P2 = 4.78atm

Therefore, the pressure at 273K is 4.78atm
