Question

1. A steel tank at 20.97°C contains a gas under a pressure of 5.97 atm. For safety reasons, it is desired that the pressure not exceeded 8.5 atm. What is the maximum temperature (in °C) to which the gas in tank can be heated?

Answer 1

$\frac{P_1}{T_1}$ = $\frac{P_2}{T_2}$

$\frac{5.97atm}{20.97⁰C}$ = $\frac{8.5atm}{T_2}$

T₂ = 29.85⁰C
