The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use the relationship between pressure and temperature for a gas at constant volume, which is described by the formula: \[ \frac{P_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2}{T_2} \] ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Given Values**: - Initial pressure \( P_1 = 1 \, \text{atm} \) (atmospheric pressure) - Initial temperature \( T_1 = 40^\circ C \) - Maximum pressure \( P_2 = 2 \, \text{atm} \) (pressure at bursting point) 2. **Convert Temperature to Kelvin**: - To convert Celsius to Kelvin, use the formula: \[ T(K) = T(°C) + 273.15 \] - Therefore, \[ T_1 = 40 + 273.15 = 313.15 \, K \approx 313 \, K \] 3. **Set Up the Equation**: - Using the relationship for isochoric processes: \[ \frac{P_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2}{T_2} \] 4. **Substitute Known Values**: - Substitute \( P_1 \), \( T_1 \), and \( P_2 \) into the equation: \[ \frac{1 \, \text{atm}}{313 \, K} = \frac{2 \, \text{atm}}{T_2} \] 5. **Cross-Multiply to Solve for \( T_2 \)**: - Rearranging gives: \[ T_2 = \frac{2 \, \text{atm} \times 313 \, K}{1 \, \text{atm}} = 626 \, K \] 6. **Final Result**: - The temperature of the air when the bulb is on the point of bursting is: \[ T_2 = 626 \, K \]
