To solve this problem, we will use the ideal gas law, specifically the relationship between pressure, temperature, and volume. The problem states that pressure increases by 0.4% when the temperature is increased by \( 1^\circ \text{C} \), and we need to find the initial temperature.
The ideal gas law is given by:
\(PV = nRT\)
Here, \(P\) is pressure, \(V\) is volume, \(n\) is number of moles, \(R\) is the gas constant, and \(T\) is temperature in Kelvin.
Since the vessel is closed, volume \(V\) and number of moles \(n\) remain constant. Therefore, the relation between pressure and temperature is:
\(\frac{P_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2}{T_2}\)
Where:
We are given that pressure increases by 0.4%, so
\(P_2 = P_1 \times 1.004\)
And the temperature is increased by \(1^\circ \text{C}\), so the final temperature \(T_2\) is:
\(T_2 = T_1 + 1\)
Substitute these into the equation:
\(\frac{P_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_1 \times 1.004}{T_1 + 1}\)
Cancelling out \(P_1\) from both sides, we get:
\(\frac{1}{T_1} = \frac{1.004}{T_1 + 1}\)
Cross-multiplying gives:
\(T_1 + 1 = T_1 \times 1.004\)
Rearranging the terms:
\(1 = 0.004 \times T_1\)
Thus:
\(T_1 = \frac{1}{0.004}\)
\(T_1 = 250 \, \text{K}\)
Therefore, the initial temperature of the gas was \( 250 \, \text{K} \). Hence, the correct answer is: \( 250 \, \text{K} \)
To determine the initial temperature of an ideal gas in a closed vessel where the pressure increases by 0.4% upon heating by \(1^\circ \text{C}\), we use the Ideal Gas Law and the concept of pressure change with temperature.
The Ideal Gas Law is given by:
\(PV = nRT\)
Where:
Since the vessel is closed, the volume \(V\) and number of moles \(n\) remain constant. As a result, the relationship between pressure and temperature for given changes is:
\(\frac{P_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2}{T_2}\)
Let:
Substituting these into the equation gives:
\(\frac{P_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_1(1 + 0.004)}{T_1 + 1}\)
Cancel \(P_1\) from both sides:
\(\frac{1}{T_1} = \frac{1 + 0.004}{T_1 + 1}\)
Cross-multiply to get:
\(T_1 + 1 = T_1(1 + 0.004)\)
Expanding and solving for \(T_1\):
\(T_1 + 1 = T_1 + 0.004T_1\) \(1 = 0.004T_1\) \(T_1 = \frac{1}{0.004} = 250 \, \text{K}\)
Therefore, the initial temperature of the gas is \(250 \, \text{K}\).
Thus, the correct option is: \( 250 \, \text{K} \)
