Question

Gas in a cylinder is maintained at $10 \,atm$ pressure and $300\, K$ temperature. The cylinder will explode if pressure of gas goes beyond $15\, atm$. What is the maximum temperature to which gas can be heated?

• A. 400 K
• B. 500 K
• C. 450 K
• D. 250 K

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

450 K

Answer 2

$\frac{P_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{P_{2}}{T_{2}}$ $\frac{10}{300}=\frac{15}{T_{2}}\,\Rightarrow\,T_{2} = 450 \,K$
