How do I solve this problem?

Question

1. A container is filled with an ideal gas to a pressure of 11.0 atm at 08C.
2. What will be the pressure in the container if it is heated to 458C?
3. At what temperature would the pressure be 6.50 atm?
4. At what temperature would the pressure be 25.0 atm?

Answer 1

1. A container is filled with an ideal gas to a pressure of 11.0 atm at 08C.

Since the container has a fixed volume and a fixed mass (moles) of are introduced in it, the best equation to solve all three parts would be P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

1. What will be the pressure in the container if it is heated to 458C?

Plugging in the values of P1, T1 and T2, we have 11.0÷08×458 = P₂

b. At what temperature would the pressure be 6.50 atm?

Now, to find T2, substitute the values and rearrange . T2 = 6.50×08 ÷ 11.0

c. At what temperature would the pressure be 25.0 atm?

Use the same equation again. Rearrange and substitute to find T2.

I will let you complete the problem. In this situation you don't have to convert any units because the units on either side of the equation balance each other.
