Alarge cylindrical tank contains 0.750 m3 of nitrogen gas at 27°c and 7.50 * 103 pa (absolute pressure). the tank has a tight‐fitting piston that allows the volume to be changed. what will be the pressure if the volume is decreased to 0.480 m3 and the temperature is increased to 157°c?

The answer is 68142.4 Pa

Explanation:

Given that the initial properties of the cylindrical tank are :

Volume V1= 0.750m3

Temperature T1= 27C

Pressure P1 =7.5*10^3 Pa= 7500Pa

Final properties of the tank after decrease in volume and increase in temperature :

Volume V2 =0.480m3

Temperature T2 = 157C

Pressure P2 =?

Applying the gas law equation (Charles and Boyle's laws combined)

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

(7500 * 0.750)/27 =( P2 * 0.480)/157

P2 =(7500 * 0.750* 157) / (0.480 *27)

P2 = 883125/12.96

P2 = 68142.4Pa

Therefore the pressure of the cylindrical tank after decrease in volume and increase in temperature is 68142.4Pa
