Suppose the Kelvin temperature (as measured by a reliable sensor) of a 3.0000 mol sample of gas in a rigid 5 L tank is tripled . It is observed that the pressure increased to 3.1 times its original value. Which of the following statements could explain the observed result.  Check all that apply. Some gas escapes the tank during heating assuming P is greater than external pressure No gas escapes and the gas obeys the ideal gas law Some gas leaks into the tank during heating assuming P is less than external pressure Some of the gas reacts with impurities in the tank to reduce the total moles of gas The pressure reading for the final pressure is too high due to instrument malfunction Some of the gas reacts with impurities in the tank to form additional total moles of gas The pressure reading for the final pressure is too low due to instrument malfunction Some of the gas reacts with impurities in the tank so that the net moles of gas is unchanged

Question
Suppose the Kelvin temperature (as measured by a reliable sensor) of a 3.0000 mol sample of gas in a rigid 5 L tank is tripled
. It is observed that the pressure increased to 3.1 times its original value. Which of the following statements could explain the observed result. 
Check all that apply.

Some gas escapes the tank during heating assuming P is greater than external pressure
No gas escapes and the gas obeys the ideal gas law
Some gas leaks into the tank during heating assuming P is less than external pressure
Some of the gas reacts with impurities in the tank to reduce the total moles of gas
The pressure reading for the final pressure is too high due to instrument malfunction
Some of the gas reacts with impurities in the tank to form additional total moles of gas
The pressure reading for the final pressure is too low due to instrument malfunction
Some of the gas reacts with impurities in the tank so that the net moles of gas is unchanged
Expert Solution
Step 1

Ideal gas equation

PV = nRT 

Based on gas law 

P1V1 / nT1 = P2V2 / nT2 

P= P1

V1 = 5 L 

T1 = T

T2 = 3T 

P2 = X P1

V2 = 5 L
