What is the pressure at standard temperature?

A gas has a pressure of 0.370 atm at 50.0 °C. What is the pressure at standard temperature?

What is the pressure at standard temperature?
the equation is (starting pressure)/(starting temperature) = (ending pressure)/(ending temperature)





Substitute in:


0.370 atm / 323 K = X atm / 273 K, where X is ending pressure


0.370 atm * 273 K / 323 K = X atm


0.313 atm = X (ending pressure)
Reply:Gay Lussac's Law.


"The absolute pressure of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to is temperature at constant volume".





P1T2 = P2T1


P1 = 0.370atm...T2 = 273K


P2 = ?...............T1 = 323K


P2 = (0.370 x 273) ÷ 323


P2 = 101.01 ÷ 323


P2 = 0.313atm = Final pressure.
