How Does Doubling Volume and Increasing Temperature Affect Gas Pressure?

AI Thread Summary
Doubling the volume of an ideal gas and increasing the temperature to 50 degrees Celsius affects its gauge pressure, which can be calculated using the Ideal Gas Law (PV = nRT). At standard temperature and pressure (STP), the initial conditions are 6.00 L at 0 degrees Celsius and 1 atm. To find the new pressure after the changes, the temperature must be converted to Kelvin, and the new volume must be considered. The Ideal Gas Law provides the necessary framework to solve for the new pressure. Understanding these relationships is essential for accurately determining gas behavior under varying conditions.

An Ideal Gas occupies a Volume of 6.00 L at STP. What is its Gauge pressure (in kPa) if the Volume is doubled and the Temperature is increased to 50.0 Degrees Celcius. I don't know where to begine as the question doesn't have a starting Temp, just that it was increased to 50 Degrees Celcius. Any help is greatly appreciated!

STP stands for standard temperature and pressure. it is 0 degrees C and 1 atm.
 
Do you have an equation for me that might help?
 
The Ideal Gas Law should cover this.

I have a really Sorry Book, I will try to find that in there. Thanks!

The Ideal Gas law says in an Ideal Gas in a closed system the following relation always holds constant,

PV = nRT

P = Pressure
V = Volume
n = number of moles
R = The gas constant
T = Temperature (KELVIN)

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
