gas laws..
« on: September 30, 2009, 07:04:16 am »
1) An iron cylinder contains He at a pressure of  250KPa at 300K. the cylinder can withstand a pressure of 1X10^6 Pa. The room in which the cylinder is placed catches fire. Predict whether the cylinder will blow up before it melts or not.....

2) The density of a gas at 27 degrees celcius and 760mm pressure was found to be 3g/l. Find out the temperature at which the density will become 2.4g/l, keeping pressure constant


Please answer


Thanks :)

okay I actually got the second one but want to confirm if it is 375K

Please answer the first one....astar..or adi and slvri

2) The density of a gas at 27 degrees celcius and 760mm pressure was found to be 3g/l. Find out the temperature at which the density will become 2.4g/l, keeping pressure constant

1/ the volume is constant since it is the volume of the room.
\frac {P_1}{T_1}=\frac {P_2}{T_2} so T_2=P_2 \frac{T_1}{P_1}=10^6 *\frac{300}{250000}=1200K
Much more borderline than before, but still I say it wont melt.I think it will not melt since the temp of the fire is typically up to 1000K so the pressure will be less than 10^6

2)P1/d1=P2/d2
temp will be 2.4/3 *300=240K

Thanks :)


this is physics right..........u guys are already so far ahead? i dont know how to answer this q cuz i aint studied this.........sory :-[
i hate A level...........

thanks sir


but shouldn't the second  be  1/T1d1=1/T2d2


considering vapour density :-\

pV= K but d=m/V soV=M/d so p/d=K

pV= K but d=m/V soV=M/d so p/d=K

In this case the pressure is constant ???

so isn't it

t1d1=t2d2
300KX3=2.4Xt2
t2=375K

I'm confused :-\
