Agas is placed in a storage tank at a pressure of 36.0 atm at 22.0 oc . as a safety device, a small metal plug in the tank is made of a metal alloy that melts at 180 oc . if the tank is heated, what is the maximum pressure that will be attained in the tank before the plug melts and releases gas?

Answer : The maximum pressure that attained in the tank will be 55.3 atm

Explanation :

Gay-Lussac's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant volume and number of moles.

or,

where,

= initial pressure = 36.0 atm

= final pressure = ?

= initial temperature =

= final temperature =

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

Thus, the maximum pressure that attained in the tank will be 55.3 atm
