1.	A gas cylinder can withstand a pressure of 15 bar. The pressure gauze indicates 12 bar at 27^(@)C. IF the building catches fire suddenly. At what temperature will the cylinder explode ?
Answer» Solution :`P_(1) = 12 " bar"P_(2) =`bar `T_(1) = 273 + 27 = 300 K ""T_(2) = ?` `(P_(1))/(T_(1)) = (P_(2))/(T_(2)) ""T_(2) = (P_(2) xx T_(1))/(P_(1)) = (15 xx 300)/(12)` TEMPERATURE at which cylinder explodes = 375 K = `102^(@)C`
