Agas is placed in a storage tank at a pressure of 36.0 atm at 22.0 oc . as a safety device, a small metal plug in the tank is made of a metal alloy that melts at 180 oc . if the tank is heated, what is the maximum pressure that will be attained in the tank before the plug melts and releases gas?

Answer : The maximum pressure that attained in the tank will be 55.3 atm

Explanation :

Gay-Lussac's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant volume and number of moles.

or,

where,

= initial pressure = 36.0 atm

= final pressure = ?

= initial temperature =

= final temperature =

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

Thus, the maximum pressure that attained in the tank will be 55.3 atm

why is arctic sea ice important? arctic sea ice keeps the polar regions cool and moderate global climate. sea ice has a bright surface; 80 percent of the sunlight that strikes it is reflected back into space. as sea ice melts in the summer, it exposes the dark ocean surface.
