If the pressure of a certain amount of a gas increases by 1% on heating by 1°C at constant volume, i — States of Matter and Gaseous State Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

According to Gay-Lussac's law (constant volume): P1 / T1 = P2 / T2. Let initial pressure be P and initial temperature be T (in K). T2 = T + 1. New pressure P2 = P + 0.01 * P = 1.01 * P. P / T = 1.01 * P / (T + 1) => T + 1 = 1.01 * T => 0.01 * T = 1 => T = 100 K.
