Answer: The new pressure will be 1.42 atm
Explanation:
To calculate the final pressure of the system, we use the equation given by Gay-Lussac Law. This law states that pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.
Mathematically,
[tex]\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}[/tex]
where,
[tex]P_1\text{ and }T_1[/tex] are the initial pressure and temperature of the gas.
[tex]P_2\text{ and }T_2[/tex] are the final pressure and temperature of the gas.
We are given:
[tex]P_1=1.18atm\\T_1=4^0C=(4+273)K=277K\\P_2=?\\T_2=60^0C=(60+273)K=333K[/tex]
Putting values in above equation, we get:
[tex]\frac{1.18}{277}=\frac{P_2}{333}\\\\P_2=1.42[/tex]
Hence, the new pressure will be 1.42 atm
