At a temperature of -33 degree Celsius, a sample of gas exerts a pressure of 53.3 kPa. At what temperature will the pressure reach 133 kPa?

The final temperature of the gas is 325.8°C

Explanation:

To calculate the final temperature of the system, we use the equation given by Gay-Lussac Law. This law states that pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

where,

are the initial pressure and temperature of the gas.

are the final pressure and temperature of the gas.

We are given:

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Converting the temperature from kelvins to degree Celsius, by using the conversion factor:

Hence, the final temperature of the gas is 325.8°C
