Answer:
5730 mmHg.
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Initial temperature (T1) = 42 °C.
Initial pressure (P1) = 5000 mmHg.
Final temperature (T2) = 88 °C.
Final pressure (P2) =.?
Next we shall convert celsius temperature,T(°C) to Kelvin temperature, T(K).
This can be obtained as follow:
T(K) = T(°C) + 273
Initial temperature (T1) = 42 °C.
Initial temperature (T1) = 42 °C + 273 = 315 K
Final temperature (T2) = 88 °C.
Final temperature (T2) = 88 °C + 273 = 361 K
Finally, we shall determine the new pressure.
Since the volume of the container is constant, the new pressure can be obtained as follow:
Initial temperature (T1) = 315 K.
Initial pressure (P1) = 5000 mmHg.
Final temperature (T2) = 361 K.
Final pressure (P2) =.?
P1/T1 = P2/T2
5000/315 = P2/361
Cross multiply
315 x P2 = 5000 x 361
Divide both side by 315
P2 = (5000 x 361) / 315
P2 = 5730.1 ≈ 5730 mmHg
Therefore, the new pressure is 5730 mmHg.
