Answer: A flask that can withstand an internal pressure of

Problem 5.43

A flask that can withstand an internal pressure of 2500 torr, but no more, is filled with a gas at 21.0°C and 758 torr and heated. At what temperature will it burst?

                                                Step by Step Solution

Step 1 of 3

The ideal equation is as follows.

                                                   ..................................(1)

                                                      P  = The pressure of gas

                                                      V  = The volume of gas

                                                      T  = The absolute temperature

                                                       n  = The number of moles of gas

                                                       R  = The universal gas constant.

At constant volume and moles of gas, the pressure and absolute temperature are directly related

As follows.

Therefore,                                      ....................................(2)

So, with increase in temperature, the pressure of ideal gas also increases.
