A gas at pressure PNm(^{-2}) and temperature 27°C is heated to 77°C at constant volume. The new pressure is
-
A.
0.85 PN-m-2 -
B.
0.86 PN-m-2 -
C.
1.16 PN-m-2 -
D.
1.18 PN-m-2 -
E.
2.85 PN-m-2
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation
At constant volume,
(frac{P_1}{T_1}) = (frac{P_2}{T_2})
(frac{P}{27 +273}) = (frac{P_2}{77 + 273})
(300P_2 = 350P)
P2 = 1.16 PNm(^{-2})
