Question

A glass container encloses gas at a pressure $4\times {10}^5$ Pa and 300 K temperature. The container walls can bear a maximum pressure of $8\times {10}^{5}Pa$. It the temperature of container is gradually increased find the temperature at which container will break:

• A. 600 K
• B. 150 K
• C. 1200 K
• D. 375 K

Answer 1

The correct option is A 600 K

$PV=nRT\therefore P\alpha T$

when $P=4\times {10}^{5}Pa\Rightarrow T=300K$

$\therefore$ when $P=8\times {10}^{5}PaT=600K$
