A thermometer reads a pressure of 120 kPa at 0 ˚C. What is the temperature when the thermometer reads a pressure of 80 kPa? (Celsius + 273 = Kelvin) Use Gay Lussac's Formula to solve. 182 K 192 K 202 K 212 K

Respuesta :

Answer:

T₂ = 182 K

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial pressure, P₁ = 120 kPa  

Initial temperature, T₁ = 0˚C = 273 K

We need to find the final temperature when the pressure is 80 kPa.

We know that, Gay Lussac's Formula is :

[tex]\dfrac{P_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{P_2}{T_2}\\\\T_2=\dfrac{P_2T_1}{P_1}\\\\T_2=\dfrac{80\ kPa\times 273}{120\ kPa}\\\\T_2=182\ K[/tex]

So, the new temperature is equal to 182 K.
