Answer to Question #336978 in General Chemistry for Tony

Question

To what temperature must a given mass of nitrogen at 0^oC heated so that both its volume and pressure will be doubled?

Answer 1

PV=nRT

$T_1=0°C=273 K$

$P_2=2P_1$

$V_2=2V_1$

$n=\frac{P_1V_1}{RT_1}$

$T_2=\frac{P_2V_2}{nR}=\frac{P_2V_2RT_1}{RP_1V_1}=\frac{2P_1(2V_1)273}{P_1V_1}=1092 K=819°C$
