A gas cylinder containing cooking gas can withstand a pressure of `14.9 atm`. The pressure of the cylinder indicates 12 atm, at `27^(@)C`. Due to sudden fire in the building, its temperature starts rising. At what temperature will the cylinder explode?

A

`90.5^(@)C`

B

`99.5^(@)C`

C

`87.3^(@)C`

D

`34^(@)C`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`(P_1)/(T_1)= (P_2)/(T_2) implies (12)/(300)= (14.9)/(T_2)`
`therefore T_(2)= 372.5K= 99.5^(@)C`.
