The compressed gas in a sealed container has a gauge pressure of 185.4 kilopascals. If the air around the container is at standard pressure, what is the absolute pressure inside the container? A. 84.1 kPa B. 143.4 kPa C. 184.4 kPa D. 186.4 kPa E. 286.7 kPa

Respuesta :

The correct answer is option E, that is, 286.7 kPa.  

The gauge pressure (PG) is illustrated as the distinction between the absolute pressure (PT) and the atmospheric pressure (PA).  

Thus, the formula is,  

PG = PT – PA

For atmospheric pressure, use 101.32 kPa, as the air around the container is at standard pressure.  

PT = PG + PA

PT = 185.4 kPa + 101.32 kPa

PT = 286.72 kPa.  

Answer:

286.7 kPa

Explanation:

This is correct! :)
