The pressure of a fixed mass of an ideal gas at 27^\circC is 3 pa. The gas is heated at a constant volume until its pressure is 5 pa. Determine the new temperature of the gas.
A
100oC
B
227oC
C
273oC
D
500oC
Verified Correct Answer: B.
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
\(\frac{P_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2}{T_2} = \frac{3}{300} = \frac{5}{T_2}\)
T\(_2\) = 500^\circC
^\circC = 500 - 273 = 227^\circ
