An aerosol can contains gases under a pressure

of 4.5 atm at 24 ◦C. If the can is left on a

hot sandy beach, the pressure of the gases

increases to 4.66 atm. What is the Celsius

temperature on the beach?

Respuesta :

Answer:

temperature on the beach = T2 = 34.56 °C

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

P1 = 4.5 atm

T1 = 24 °C = 24 + 273 = 297 K

P2 = 4.66 atm

Thus, P1/T1 = P2 /T2

So, T2 = P2•T1/P1

Thus, T2 = (4.66x 297)/4.5

T2 = 307.56 K

Let's convert to °C to obtain ;

T2 = 307.56 - 273

T2 = 34.56 °C
