Somebody please answer

A sample of gas at 500 mm Hg inside a steel tank is cooled from 773 K to 273 K. What is the final pressure of the gas in the steel tank?

Respuesta :

Answer:

177 mmHg

Explanation:

Given that:

The sample of  a gas is with Pressure (1) [tex]P_1[/tex] = 500 mmHg

The initial temperature [tex]T_1[/tex] = 773 K

The final temperature [tex]T_2[/tex] = 273 K

Using ideal gas equation:

[tex]\dfrac{P_1}{T_1} = \dfrac{P_2}{T_2} \\ \\ \dfrac{500}{773} = \dfrac{P_2}{273} \\ \\ (136500) = 773 \times P_2 \\ \\ P_2 = \dfrac{136500}{773} \\ \\ P_2 = 176.58 \ mmHg \\ \\ \simeq 177 mmHg[/tex]
