By what amount must the temperature of 200cm $^{3}$ of Nitrogen at 27°C be increased to double the pressure if the final volume is 150cm $^{3}$ (Assume ideality)

150°C

177°C

75°C

120°C

Maelezo ya Majibu

Using the ideal gas law and equation:
$\frac{P_{1} V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2} V_{2}}{T_{2}}$
$\frac{P_{1} \times 200 {cm}^{3}}{300 K} = \frac{2 P \times 150 {cm}^{3}}{T_{2}}$
Cross multiply:
$T_{2} = \frac{300 \times 150 \times 2 P}{200 \times P}$
$= 450 K$ or $177^{\circ} C$
Don't forget to convert to $^{\circ} C$

Recall:
$\frac{C_{A} V_{A}}{C_{B} V_{B}} = \frac{n_{A}}{n_{B}}$ ... (1)
N.B: From the equation,
$\frac{n_{A}}{n_{B}} = \frac{1}{2}$

From (1)
$\frac{1.25 \times 10}{0.5 \times V_{B}} = \frac{1}{2}$
$\frac{12.5}{0.5 V_{B}} = \frac{1}{2}$
