Question:

A container of \(10\,\text{L}\) is filled with an ideal gas at a temperature of \(27^\circ\text{C}\) at a pressure of \(12\,\text{atm}\). The volume of the container is reduced to \(6\,\text{L}\) and the temperature of the gas is increased by \(30^\circ\text{C}\), then the final pressure of the gas is

Show Hint

In gas law problems, always convert temperature from Celsius to Kelvin before substitution: \[ T(K)=T(^\circ C)+273 \]

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Use the combined gas law.
For a fixed amount of ideal gas, \[ \frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2} \]

Step 2: Write the given values.
Initial pressure: \[ P_1=12\,\text{atm} \] Initial volume: \[ V_1=10\,\text{L} \] Initial temperature: \[ T_1=27^\circ\text{C}=300\,\text{K} \] Final volume: \[ V_2=6\,\text{L} \] Temperature is increased by \(30^\circ\text{C}\), so \[ T_2=57^\circ\text{C}=330\,\text{K} \]

Step 3: Substitute in the formula.
\[ \frac{12\times 10}{300}=\frac{P_2\times 6}{330} \] So, \[ P_2=\frac{12\times 10\times 330}{300\times 6} \] \[ P_2=22\,\text{atm} \]

Step 4: Final conclusion.
Hence, the final pressure of the gas is \[ \boxed{22\,\text{atm}} \]
