Question
Argon is an inert gas used in light bulbs to retard the vaporization of the tungsten filament. A certain light bulb containing argon at 1.2 atm and 18°C is heated to 85°C at constant volume. Calculate its final pressure in atm.

Solution
P1 = 1.2 atm
T1 = 18°C + 273 = 291 K
T2 = 85°C + 273 = 358 K
P2 = ?
`"P"_1/"T"_1 = "P"_2/"T"_2`
P2 = `("P"_1/"T"_1) xx "T"_2`
= `(1.2 "atm")/(291 "K") xx 358 "K"`
P2 = 1.48 atm

A box contains 0.90 g of liquid water in equilibrium with water vapour at 27°C. The equilibrium vapour pressure of water at 27°C is 32.0 Torr. When the volume of the box is increased, some of the liquid water evaporates to maintain the equilibrium pressure. If the liquid water evaporates, then the volume of the box must be - litre (nearest integer) R = 0.0821 L atm K-1 mol-1.
