Agas in a rigid container at 25c has a pressure of .96atm. a change in temperature causes the pressure to increase to 1.25 atm. what is the new temperature of the gas

The answer is:

The new temperature of the gas is equal to 388.22 K

Since we have a rigid container, we can safely assume that the volume is kept constant.

To solve the problem, we need to use the Gay Lussac's Law, which states that the pressure and the volume of an ideal gas are proportional  when the volume is kept constant.

Also, we need to remember that Gay Lussac's Law works with absolute temperature, so, we need to convert the given temperature (in celsius degrees) to Kelvin.

So, using the Gay Lussac's equation, we have:

Where,

is equal to the first pressure.

is equal to the first temperature.

is equal to the new pressure.

is equal to the new temperature.

We are given the following information:

Then, substituting and calculating, we have:

Hence, the new temperature of the gas is equal to 388.22 K.

Have a nice day!

adding or remove a gaseous reactant or product changes the concentrations. if the concentration of reactant or product is increased, the system will shift away from the side in which concentration was increased (i.e. if the concentration of reactants is increased, the system will shift toward the products. if more products are added, the system will shift to form more reactants). conversely, if the concentration of reactant or product is decreased, the system will shift toward the side in which concentration was decreased (i.e. if reactants are removed, the system will shift to form more reactants. if the concentration of products is decreased, the equilibrium will shift toward the products).
