A cylinder of oxygen gas has a pressure of 6.00 atm at 25.0 °C. What is the pressure of the gas at 0.0 °C?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pressure of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature in Kelvin. Using the formula P1/T1 = P2/T2, where P1 is the initial pressure, T1 is the initial temperature in Kelvin, P2 is the final pressure, and T2 is the final temperature in Kelvin, we can solve for P2. Converting the temperatures to Kelvin (25.0 °C = 298 K and 0.0 °C = 273 K) and solving for P2 gives a pressure of approximately 5.50 atm.
