A rigid, sealed container that can hold 26 L of gas is filled to a pressure of 5.97 atm at 374 °C. The pressure suddenly decreases to 3.64 atm. What is
the new temperature inside the container, in units of °C?

121 °C

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial pressure (P₁) = 5.97 atm

Initial temperature (T₁) = 374 °C

Final pressure (P₂) = 3.64 atm

Final temperature (T₂) =?

NOTE: Volume = constant

Next, we shall convert 374 °C to Kelvin temperature. This can be obtained as follow:

T(K) = T(°C) + 273

Initial temperature (T₁) = 374 °C

Initial temperature (T₁) = 374 °C + 273

Initial temperature (T₁) = 647 K

Next, we shall determine the final temperature. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial pressure (P₁) = 5.97 atm

Initial temperature (T₁) = 647 K

Final pressure (P₂) = 3.64 atm

Final temperature (T₂) =?

P₁ / T₁ = P₂ / T₂

5.97 / 647 = 3.64 / T₂

Cross multiply

5.97 × T₂ = 647 × 3.64

5.97 × T₂ = 2355.08

Divide both side by 5.97

T₂ = 2355.08 / 5.97

T₂ = 394 K

Finally, we shall convert 394 K to celsius temperature. This can be obtained as follow:

T(°C) = T(K) – 273

Final temperature (T₂) = 394 K

Final temperature (T₂) = 394 – 273

Final temperature (T₂) = 121 °C

Thus, the new temperature is 121 °C

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.

answer:

the reaction is type of combination reaction.

explanation:

on the product side, there are 2 molecules of bonded to fe   which means one atom of fe are combined two molecules of . so, balanced chemical equation becomes :

this reaction follows the reaction type of combination reaction. a combination reaction is defined as chemical reaction in which reactants combines together to form a single product.
