The pressure of a fixed mass of an ideal gas at 27°C is 3 pa. The gas is heated at a constant volume until its pressure is 5 pa. Determine the new temperature of the gas.
-
A.
100oC -
B.
227oC -
C.
273oC -
D.
500oC
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
(frac{P_1}{T_1} = frac{P_2}{T_2} = frac{3}{300} = frac{5}{T_2})
T(_2) = 500°C
°C = 500 – 273 = 227°
