A cylinder of gas under a pressure of 1,800 psig at 70 °F heats up to a temperature of 130 °F. What is the new pressure within the cylinder? (Charles Law questions)
P1/P2 = T1/T2 First convert psig to psia = 1,800 + 14.7 = 1814.7 Convert F to Rankine = 70 + 460 = 530 = 130 + 460 = 590 1,814.7/ n = 530/590 n = 2020.138 psia
