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?

Options

A. `90.5^(@)C`
B. `99.5^(@) C`
C. `87.3^(@) C`
D. `34^(@) C`

Answer

B

Explanation

`(P_(1))/(T_(1)) = (P_(2))/(T_(2)) implies (12)/(300) = (14.9)/(T_(2)) therefore T_(2) = 372.5 K = 99.5^(@)C`
