The gas inside of a container exerts 15 Pa of pressure and is at a temperature of 50 ^o K. If the temperature of the gas changes to 90 ^oK with no change in the container's volume, what is the new pressure of the gas?

"The final pressure of gas is 27 Pa."

Explanation:

"use the formula : "P_i/T_i=P_f/T_f

P_i:"initial pressure"

P_f:"final pressure"

T_i:"initial temperature"

T_f:"final temperature"

P_i=15" "Pa

P_f=?" "Pa

T_i=50 " "K^o

T_f=90" "K^o

"plug given values:"

15/50=P_f/90

P_f*cancel(5)cancel(0)=cancel(15)*9cancel(0)

P_f=3*9

P_f=27" "Pa
