To find the initial temperature of the gas given that an increase in gas quantity by 5 units results in a 0.5% increase in pressure at constant volume, we can use the ideal gas law. The ideal gas law states that PV = nRT, where P is pressure, V is volume, n is the number of moles of gas, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is temperature in Kelvin. Let's break this down step by step.

Understanding the Variables

In this scenario:

  • P: Initial pressure of the gas.
  • V: Volume of the gas (constant).
  • n: Initial number of moles of gas.
  • R: Ideal gas constant (approximately 0.0821 L·atm/(K·mol) for our calculations).
  • T: Initial temperature in Kelvin.

Setting Up the Equation

Initially, we can express the initial state of the gas using the ideal gas law:

P1V = n1RT1

After increasing the gas quantity by 5 units, the new number of moles becomes n2 = n1 + 5. The new pressure, after a 0.5% increase, can be expressed as:

P2 = P1 + 0.005P1 = 1.005P1

Now, we can write the equation for the new state:

P2V = n2RT2

Relating the Two States

Since the volume and the gas constant remain constant, we can set the two equations equal to each other:

1.005P1V = (n1 + 5)RT1

Now, we can express the initial pressure in terms of the initial number of moles and temperature:

P1 = (n1RT1) / V

Substituting this into our equation gives:

1.005(n1RT1) = (n1 + 5)RT1

Simplifying the Equation

We can cancel out RT1 from both sides (assuming it's not zero):

1.005n1 = n1 + 5

Rearranging this gives:

1.005n1 - n1 = 5

0.005n1 = 5

From this, we can solve for n1:

n1 = 5 / 0.005 = 1000 moles

Finding the Initial Temperature

Now that we have the initial number of moles, we can substitute back into the ideal gas law to find the initial temperature:

P1V = n1RT1

Rearranging gives:

T1 = (P1V) / (n1R)

To find the exact temperature, we need the values for pressure and volume. However, if we assume standard conditions (for example, P1 = 1 atm and V = 1 L), we can calculate:

T1 = (1 atm * 1 L) / (1000 moles * 0.0821 L·atm/(K·mol))

Calculating this gives:

T1 ≈ 12.2 K

Thus, under the assumptions made, the initial temperature of the gas would be approximately 12.2 Kelvin. If you have specific values for pressure and volume, you can substitute those into the final equation to find the exact initial temperature.
