Complete question is;

A cylinder of compressed gas is at a temperature of 23°C. It is cooled until it reaches the pressure of 2000kPa. It has to be cooled to 90K before this happens. Calculate the starting pressure of the gas

Answer:

Starting pressure = 604 KPa

Explanation:

We are given;

Initial temperature; T1 =23°C = 298 K

Final temperature; T2 = 90 K

Final pressure; P2 = 2000 KPa

From gay lussac's law, we know that;

P1•T1 = P2•T2

P1 = (P2•T2)/T1

P1 = (2000 × 90)/298

P1 ≈ 604 KPa
