Answer to Question #152391 in Organic Chemistry for Ram

Question

. A steel tank contains CO2 at 300K and a pressure of 10 atm calculate the internal
gas pressure when the tank gas

Answer 1

We need to calculate the internal gas pressure when the gas tank is heated or cooled (not provided in the question). Let's say that final temperature of the tank and its contents is T_final.

p*V = n*R*T, R is the gas constant and V is constant because gas tank volume is constant

then p/T is constant

then p_initial/T_initial = p_final/T_final

then 10/300 = p_final/T_final

and p_final = T_final*10/300, if we know T_final we will know p_final.
