The temperature of a fixed mass of gas in a rigid container is raised from 28.00 degrees Celsius to 88.00 degrees Celsius. The initial pressure was 1000 mmHg. What is the new pressure, after heating?
1 Answer
The final pressure is
Explanation:
This is an example of Gay Lussac's temperature-pressure gas law , which states that the pressure of a gas held at constant volume, is directly proportional to the temperature in Kelvins.
The equation for this law is:

Solution
Rearrange the equation to isolate
