The discussion centers on calculating the temperature growth of a gas under constant pressure conditions. A mass of 3 moles of gas is heated from an initial volume of 40 liters to a final volume of 60 liters at a pressure of 1.5 atm. Utilizing the ideal gas law, represented by the equation pV=nRT, participants confirm that the final temperature is 121 K. The relationship between volume and temperature is established through the equation V1/V2=T1/T2, which is crucial for solving the problem.
PREREQUISITESThis discussion is beneficial for students studying thermodynamics, physics enthusiasts, and anyone involved in chemistry or engineering who needs to understand gas behavior under varying conditions.
pV=nRTphyzguy said:Don't you know the ideal gas equation? Can you write it down? From this, given P, V, and N, you should be able to calculate T.
