A cylinder was filled with a gas at 2 atm pressure at `27^(@)C` and can withstand a pressure of 12 atm. At what temperature the cyliner bursts when the building catches fire?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`P_(1) = 2 atm, P_(2) = 12` atm
`T_(1) = 27 + 273 = 300 K, T_(2)` = ?
`P_(1)/T_(1) = P_(2)/P_(2) rArr T_(2) = (T_(1)P_(2))/P_(1) rArr T_(2) = (12 xx 300)/2 = 1800 K 1527^(@) C`
`:. ` Cylinder bursts at or above `1527^(@)C`
