A gas cylinder containing cooking gas can withstand a pressure at 14.9 atm. The pressure gauge of the cylinder indicates 12 atm. at 27 ° C . Due to a sudden fire in the building its temperature starts rising. At what temperature will the cylinder explode?

Question

A gas cylinder containing cooking gas can withstand a pressure at 14.9 atm. The pressure gauge of the cylinder indicates 12 atm. at 27 ° C . Due to a sudden fire in the building its temperature starts rising. At what temperature will the cylinder explode?, 372.5 K, 3.725 K, 37.25 K, None of these

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

T = 273 + 27 = 300 K P 1 T 1 = P 2 T 2 Since volume of the cylinder is constant T 2 = T 1 P 2 P 1 = 300 × 14.9 12 = 372.5 K
