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?

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

(P1/T1)=(P2/T2) (10/300)=(15/T2) ⇒ T2 = 450 K

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

400 K

500 K

450 K

250 K

$\frac{P _{1}}{T _{1}} = \frac{P _{2}}{T _{2}}$
$\frac{10}{300} = \frac{15}{T _{2}} \Rightarrow T_{2} = 450 K$
