A 4.0 L container holds a sample of hydrogen gas at 306 K and 150 kPa. If the pressure increases to 300 kPa and the volume remains constant, what will the new temperature be?

612 K

Explanation:

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

Initial temperature (T₁) = 306 K

Initial pressure (P₁) = 150 kPa

Final pressure (P₂) = 300 kPa

Volume = 4 L = constant

Final temperature (T₂) =?

Since the volume is constant, the final (i.e the new) temperature of the gas can be obtained as follow:

P₁ / T₁ = P₂ / T₂

150 / 306 = 300 / T₂

Cross multiply

150 × T₂ = 306 × 300

150 × T₂ = 91800

Divide both side by 150

T₂ = 91800 / 150

T₂ = 612 K

Thus, the new temperature of the gas is 612 K

the electrical  conductivity  of asolution  of an electrolyte is measured by determining the resistance of thesolution  between two flat or cylindrical electrodes separated by a fixed distance.
