An insulated cylinder of volume 60 cm3 is filled with a gas at 27 and 2 atmospheric pressure. Then the gas is compressed making the final volume as 20 cm3 while allowing the temperature to rise to 77 . The final pressure is atmospheric pressure.
Answer
7
Solution
For a fixed amount of gas: P1V1T1 = P2V2T2
T1 = 27 + 273 = 300 K, T2 = 77 + 273 = 350 K
P2 = P1 V1V2 T2T1 = 2 6020 350300
P2 = 2 3 76
P2 = 7 atm
