i need help can you show me how and the answera sample of B2H6 gas in a 35-mL container is at a pressure of 450mm Hg and a tempature of 625 C if the gas is allowed to cool at a constant volume untill the pressure is 375 mm Hg what is the new tempature in C ?

  1. according to one of the gas laws, the temperature of a substance is directly proportional to its pressure, so:

    P1/T1=P2/T2 with the pressure being in torrs (or mm Hg), and the temperature being in Kelvin

    Kelvin is just C+273, so 898K to start with.

    450/898=375/x

    450x=336750

    x=748 1/3K

    then convert back to celcius 748 1/3-273

    475 1/3


  2. PV = nRT

    So, as long as the number of moles does not change (no chemical reaction)

    P1V1/T1 = nR = P2V2/T2

    In this example, V1 = V2, so it's even easier;

    P1/T1 = P2/T2

    You know all the other numbers, so just solve for T2.  Remember that T must be in K.

  3. Use the formula PV = nRT

    If no reaction is occuring then complete these steps.

    P = Pressure V = Volume T = Temperature

    Like the other guys said: P1V1/T1 = nR = P2V2/T2

    The volume remains constant so V1 = V2

    So now your formula looks like this : P1/T1 = P2/T2

    Convert Celcius to Kelvin

    (450mm Hg)/898K = (375mm Hg)/X

    X = T2 = New temperature

    Now it's just like basic algebra:

    X= (375)(898) / (450)

    X = 748.3 K

    now convert to celcius

    X = 475.3 degrees C
