Question

A gas cylinder containing cooking gas can withstand a pressure of 14.9 atmosphere. The pressure guage of cylinder indicates 12 atmosphere at ${27}^{o}C$. Due to sudden fire in the building temperature starts rising. The temperature at which cylinder will explode is:

• A. 372.5 K
• B. 99.5 C
• C. 199 C
• D. 472.5 k

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

The correct options are
A 372.5 K
B 99.5 C

Suppose the cylinder will burst at $T_{2}K$
$T_2=\frac{P_2{T}_1}{T_1}$
$(V_1=V_2)=\frac{14.9\times 300}{12}=372.5K$
