If the pressure on a gas at -73°C is doubled but its volume is held constant, what will its final temperature be in degrees Celsius?

127°C

Explanation:

This excersise can be solved, with the Charles Gay Lussac law, where the pressure of the gas is modified according to absolute T°.

We convert our value to K → -73°C + 273 = 200 K

The moles are the same, and the volume is also the same:

P₁ / T₁ = P₂ / T₂

But the pressure is doubled so: P₁ / T₁ = 2P₁ / T₂

P₁ / 200K = 2P₁ / T₂

1 /2OOK = (2P₁ / T₂) / P₁

See how's P₁ term is cancelled.

200K⁻¹ = 2/ T₂

T₂ = 2 / 200K⁻¹  → 400K

We convert the T° to C → 400 K - 273 = 127°C

answer is: nuclear fusion produces elements that are heavier than helium.

nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing energy.  

for example, fusion of hydrogen atoms at the sun.  

this fusion nuclear reaction is in the inner core of the sun and hydrogen (atomic number 1) is conveted into helium (atomic number 2).  

the inner core is the central region of the sun and all solar energy is produced in the core by nuclear fusion.
