Question

At 22 degree Celsius a gas consists of pressure 1.1 bars then what is the temperature when the gas consists a pressure of 2.2 bars?

(a) 11 degree Celsius

(b) 44 degree Celsius

(c) 33 degree Celsius

(d) 22 degree Celsius

The question was asked in a job interview.

This key question is from States of Matter topic in section States of Matter of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer 1

The correct answer is (b) 44 degree Celsius

The best I can explain: According to Gay-Lussac’s law,  at the constant volume, the pressure is directly proportional to the temperature of gas so P1/P2 = T1/T2 that is 1.1 Bar/2.2 bar = 22 degrees Celsius/44 degree Celsius. So the temperature required is 44 degrees Celsius.
