Homework Statement


A constant volume gas thermometer has a pressure of 5830 Pa at 47 °C. What would the pressure be for -99 °C (in Pa)?



Homework Equations



Pf = Pi * (Tf/Ti)

The Attempt at a Solution



Ti = 47 deg C = 320 deg K
Tf = -99 deg C = 174 deg K
Pi = 5830 pa = 0.05755 atm + 1 atm = 15.55 psi
15.55psi * (174/320) = 8.46 psi...Is this how you do it?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
or do i leave it in atm?
 
Does anyone know how to do this?
