Your radiator on your car is normally 1.57 atm of pressure at 50.0 degrees Celsius. What does the pressure change to if the temperature increases to 128 degrees Celsius? Give an answer and an explanation on how you arrived at it.Radiator on your car is normally 1.57 atm of pressure at 50.0 degrees Celsius. What does the pressure ch?For an ideal gas the equation is pV=nRT

T is in deegres absolute.



So 50掳C=323K and 128掳C=401 K



We can write



p1V =nRT1

p2V=nRT2



Since V,n and R are the same



p1/p2=T1/T2



1.57/p2= 323 / 401



1.57/ p2 = 0.805



p2=1.57 /0.805= 1.95 atm
