The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Given:

  • Initial pressure \( P_1 = 2 \) atm
  • Initial temperature \( T_1 = 25^\circ C = 298 \) K
  • Final temperature \( T_2 = 323^\circ C = 596 \) K
  • Volume remains constant

 

Objective: Find the final pressure \( P_2 \).

Using the combined gas law: \[ \frac{P_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2}{T_2} \] Rearranging to solve for \( P_2 \): \[ P_2 = P_1 \times \frac{T_2}{T_1} \]

Substituting the given values: \[ P_2 = 2 \times \frac{596}{298} \approx 3.99 \text{ atm} \]

Note: The calculated pressure \( P_2 \approx 4 \) atm does not match any of the provided options. The stated correct answer is D. 6 atm, which suggests there might be additional information or a different process involved.
