A 3L sample of an ideal gas at 178 K has a pressure of 0.3 atm. Assuming that the volume is constant, what is the approximate pressure of the gas after it is heated to 278 K?

The approximate pressure of the gas after it is heated to 278 K is 0.468 atm.

Explanation:

Given: = 178 K,       = 0.3 atm

= 278 K,           = ?

According to Gay Lussac law, at constant volume the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature.

Formula used to calculate the pressure is as follows.

Substitute the values into above formula is as follows.

Thus, we can conclude that the approximate pressure of the gas after it is heated to 278 K is 0.468 atm.

hi,

the capital city of australia is canberra.

a mercury barometer is a device that uses the physical properties of mercury in a tube to measure barometric pressure. mercury barometers are used for : -

1. measurement of atmospheric pressure  

2. determining the altitude of a place

3. weather forecasting

4. calibration and checking of aneroid barometers

5. application in fluid mechanics

6. measurement of pressure in aircrafts

7. surface weather analysis

8. preparation of barographs

9. usage in physical sciences like physics, astronomy & chemistry

10. preparation of aircraft altimeters

characteristics of mercury barometer : -

1.used to define and measure atmospheric pressure.

2.on the average at sea level the column of mercury rises to a height of about 760 mm.

3.this quantity is equal to 1 atmosphere.

4.it is also known as standard atmospheric pressure.

5.a barometer in which the weight of a column of mercury in a glass tube with a sealed top is balanced against that of the atmosphere pressing on an exposed cistern of mercury at the base of the mercury column, the height of the column varying with atmospheric pressure.
