Q. 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?

Solution:

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