Question

The pressure exerted by a gas in
sealed container is 100kPa at 17oC It was found that the
container might leak if the internal pressure exceeds 120kPa
Assuming constant volume, at what temperature in oC will
the container start to leak?

Pankaj Singh · Accepted Answer

P1=100kPa
P2=120 kPa
T=17oC =
290K

we know that at
constant volume
p1/T1 =
p2/T2
or
T2 =
T1 x p2/p1
T2
= 290 x 120/100 = 348 K = 75oC

The pressure exerted by a gas in sealed container is 100kPa at 17oC. It was found that the container might leak if the internal pressure exceeds 120kPa. Assuming constant volume, at what temperature in oC will the container start to leak?

The pressure exerted by a gas in sealed container is 100kPa at 17^oC. It was found that the container might leak if the internal pressure exceeds 120kPa. Assuming constant volume, at what temperature in ^oC will the container start to leak?
