Asample of n2 gas in a flask is heated from 27 celcius to 150 celcius. if the original gas is @ pressure of 1520 torr, what is the pressure of the final sample (in atm)? a.) 1.4atmb.) 2.8atmc.) 3.2atmd.) 4.3atm

Explanation:

The volume and amount are constant, so we can use Gay-Lussac’s Law:

At constant volume, the pressure exerted by a gas is directly proportional to its temperature.

Data:

p₁ = 1520 Torr; T₁ =   27 °C

p₂ = ?;               T₂ = 150 °C

Calculations:

(a) Convert the temperatures to kelvins

T₁ = (  27 + 273.15) K = 300.15 K

T₂ = (150 + 273.15) K = 423.15 K

(b) Calculate the new pressure

(c) Convert the pressure to atmospheres
