The pressure, volume, and temperature of a mole of an ideal gas are related by the equation
PV = 8.31T,
where P is measured in kilopascals, V in liters, and T in kelvins. Use differentials to find the approximate change in the pressure (in kPa) if the volume increases from 11 L to 11.6 L and the temperature decreases from 370 K to 360 K. (Note whether the change is positive or negative in your answer. Round your answer to two decimal places.)
According to the Ideal Gas Law, PV = kT, where P is pressure, Vis volume, T is temperature (in Kelvins), and k
is a constant of proportionality. A tank contains 2000 cubic inches of nitrogen at a pressure of 26 pounds per
square inch and a temperature of 600 K. Determine the EXACT value of k.
The volume V of an ideal gas varies directly with the temperature T and inversely with the pressure P. If a cylinder of 50 liters contains oxygen at a temperature of 200 K and a pressure of 5 atmospheres, what would the gas pressure be if the volume was changed to 30 liters and the temperature raised to 240 K?
