When a sealed bulb containing a gas is immersed in an ice bath, it has a gas pressure of 387 Torr. When the same bulb is placed in an oven, the pressure of the gas rises to 765 Torr. What is the temperature of the oven in Celsius?
help ASAP please!
Temperature of oven = 267 oC
Explanation
According to Gay-Lussac's law, absolute temperature of an ideal gas is directly proportional to its pressure, provided amount of gas and volume remains constant.
Mathematically, T2 / P2 = T1 / P1
where T1 = initial temperature of gas = temperature of ice bath = 0.0oC = 273 K
P1 = initial pressure of gas = 387 torr
T2 = final temperature of gas = temperature of oven
P2 = final pressure of gas = 765 torr
Substituting the values,
T2 / (765 torr) = (273 K) / (387 torr)
T2 = (273 K) * (765 torr / 387 torr)
T2 = (273 K) * (1.9767)
T2 = 537.65
T2 = 267 oC
