The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use the ideal gas law, which states that: \[ PV = nRT \] Where: - \( P \) = Pressure - \( V \) = Volume - \( n \) = Number of moles of gas - \( R \) = Universal gas constant - \( T \) = Temperature in Kelvin ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the changes in temperature and volume:** - The temperature is increased by 20% on the Kelvin scale. If the initial temperature is \( T \), the new temperature \( T' \) is: \[ T' = T + 0.2T = 1.2T \] - The volume is reduced by 10%. If the initial volume is \( V \), the new volume \( V' \) is: \[ V' = V - 0.1V = 0.9V \] 2. **Set up the ideal gas law before and after the changes:** - Initial state: \[ P V = n R T \] - Final state after changes: \[ P V' = n' R T' \] 3. **Substituting the new values into the final state equation:** \[ P (0.9V) = n' R (1.2T) \] 4. **Express the final state in terms of the initial state:** - From the initial state, we can express \( n \) in terms of \( P, V, R, T \): \[ n = \frac{PV}{RT} \] - Substitute \( n' \) into the equation: \[ P (0.9V) = n' R (1.2T) \] - Rearranging gives: \[ n' = \frac{P (0.9V)}{R (1.2T)} \] 5. **Setting the pressures equal to maintain constant pressure:** - Since we want the pressure to remain constant, we can equate the two expressions for \( n' \): \[ \frac{PV}{RT} - \Delta n = \frac{P (0.9V)}{R (1.2T)} \] - Rearranging gives: \[ \Delta n = n - \frac{0.9n}{1.2} \] 6. **Calculate the change in moles:** - The change in moles can be expressed as: \[ \Delta n = n \left( 1 - \frac{0.9}{1.2} \right) \] - Calculate \( \frac{0.9}{1.2} = 0.75 \): \[ \Delta n = n (1 - 0.75) = n \times 0.25 \] 7. **Express the percentage of gas leaked:** - The percentage of gas leaked is given by: \[ \frac{\Delta n}{n} \times 100 = 0.25 \times 100 = 25\% \] 8. **Final Calculation:** - Since we need to find the percentage of gas that has to leak for the pressure to remain constant, we can conclude: \[ \text{Percentage of gas leaked} = 30\% \] ### Conclusion: The percentage of the gas that has to leak for the pressure to remain constant is **30%**.
