The absolute pressure in a constant volume gas thermometer is 29.8 kPa at 273 K
What will be the pressure at 300K?
What will be the temperature when the absolute pressure is reduced to 25.7 kPa?
Physics question?

The relationship between pressure and temperature is shown as P1/T1=P2T2 (Gay- Lussacs law), Pressure is P and temperature is T.
The constant volume is directly proportional to the Temperature (Kelvin). If this was graph it would give you a straight line.
a) What will be the pressure at 300K?
P1= 29.8 kPa
T1= 273 K
T2= 300 k
P2= ?
so T2 x P1 / T1 = P2
(300k x 29.8 kPa) / 273k = 32.7 kPa ( Remember Sig Digs!)
Ans= 32.7 kPa
b) What will be the temperature when the absolute pressure is reduced to 25.7 kPa?
P1= 29.8 kPa
T1= 273 K
P2= 25.7 kPa
T2= ?
so P2 x T1 / P1 = T2
(25.7 kPa x 273 K) / 29.8 kPa = 235 K (Note the Sig Digs!)
Ans = 235 K
This is more like a Chem question than physics but anyways good luck ! x)
I meant Pressure instead of Volume above in sentence 2.
