A given mass of gas has a pressure of 80Nm-2 at a temperature of 47oC. If the temperature is reduced to 27oC with the volume remaining constant, the new pressure is
-
A.
46.0 Nm-2 -
B.
75.0 Nm-2 -
C.
80.0 Nm-2 -
D.
85.3 Nm-2 -
E.
139.4 Nm-2
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
P1/T1 = P2/T2
80/(273+47) = P1/(273+27) = 75Nm-2
