Answer

$\mathrm{a}.\quad 79.9\mathrm{k}\mathrm{P}\mathrm{a}$ $\mathrm{b}.\quad 192^{\mathrm{o}}\mathrm{C}$

Work Step by Step

Assuming that pressure is a linear function of temperature, we take two points to find the equation of P(T). First, at absolute zero, the pressure is zero, $(-273.15^{\mathrm{o}}\mathrm{C},0\mathrm{k}\mathrm{P}\mathrm{a})$ Second, we are given $(105^{\mathrm{o}}\mathrm{C},93.5\mathrm{k}\mathrm{P}\mathrm{a}).$ Slope = $\displaystyle \frac{P_{2}-P_{1}}{T_{2}-T_{1}}=\frac{93.5\mathrm{k}\mathrm{P}\mathrm{a}}{378.15^{\mathrm{o}}\mathrm{C}}\approx 0.2473\mathrm{k}\mathrm{P}\mathrm{a}/\mathrm{C}^{\mathrm{o}}$ Point-slope equation: $\mathrm{P}-0=\mathrm{m}(\mathrm{T}-(-273.15^{\mathrm{o}}\mathrm{C}))$ $\mathrm{P}=(0.2473\mathrm{k}\mathrm{P}\mathrm{a}/\mathrm{C}^{\mathrm{o}})\mathrm{T}+67.55\mathrm{k}\mathrm{P}\mathrm{a}$ $\mathrm{a}.$ When T=$50^{\mathrm{o}}\mathrm{C}$, $\mathrm{P}=(0.2473\mathrm{k}\mathrm{P}\mathrm{a}/\mathrm{C}^{\mathrm{o}})(50^{\mathrm{o}}\mathrm{C})+67.55\mathrm{k}\mathrm{P}\mathrm{a}=79.9\mathrm{k}\mathrm{P}\mathrm{a}$ $\mathrm{b}.$ When $\mathrm{P}=115\mathrm{k}\mathrm{P}\mathrm{a}$, $115\mathrm{k}\mathrm{P}\mathrm{a}=(0.2473\mathrm{k}\mathrm{P}\mathrm{a}/\mathrm{C}^{\mathrm{o}})\mathrm{T}+67.55\mathrm{k}\mathrm{P}\mathrm{a}$ $\displaystyle \mathrm{T}=\frac{115-67.55}{0.2473}\mathrm{C}^{\mathrm{o}}=192^{\mathrm{o}}\mathrm{C}$
