Question

Gas is confined in a tank at a pressure of 9.2 atm and a temperature of 21.5°C. If two-thirds of the gas is withdrawn and the temperature is raised to 85.0°C, what is the pressure of the gas remaining in the tank?
 ?atm

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given :

Initial pressure (Pi) = 9.2 atm

Initial temperature (Ti) = 21.5°C = 294.5 K

Final temperature (Tf) = 85°C = 358 K

nf = ni - (2ni/3) = ni/3

Step 2

From ideal gas equation

PfVf = nfRT..... (1)

And

PiVi = niRT.......(2)

Dividing equations (1) and (2)

PfV/ PiVi = nfRTf / niRTi

Pf = nfTfPi / niT........ (3)
