After 273^3 of ethylene oxide is formed at 748kPa and 525 K the gas is cooled at constant volume to 293 K the new pressure is____kPa?

Answer :

To solve this we assume that the gas is an ideal gas. Then, we can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant volume and number of moles of the gas the ratio of T and P is equal to some constant. At another set of condition, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:

T1/P1 = T2/P2

P2 = T2 x P1 / T1

P2 = 293 x 748 / 525

P2 = 417.46 kPa
