A sample of nitrogen gas at 180 K has a pressure of 1.0 atm.?

Question

When the temperature is increased to 360 K at constant volume, the new pressure will be what?

Answer 1

Since pressure and temperature are directly proportional, you use the proportion P/T=P'/T'. Substituting the values in would produce 1/180=x/360= (180x=360)= (x=2). Thus, if the temperature is increased to 360 K at constant volume, the new pressure will be 2.0 atm.
