A given mass of gas has a pressure of 80 Nm−2 at a temperature of 47 C. If the temperature is reduced to 27 C with volume remaining constant, the new pressure is?
46.0 Nm−2
75.0 Nm−2
80.0 Nm−2
85.3 Nm−2
Correct answer is B
Using P1T1=P2T2
P1 = 80Nm2
T1 = 47 + 273 = 320k
T2 = 27 + 273 = 300k
P2?
∴ = P_{2} = \frac{P_{1}T_{2}}{T_{1}}
= \frac{80 \times 300}{320} = 75.Nm^{2}
