Resources previous l 12 of 23 | next» Problem 11.42 -Enhanced- with Feedback You may want to reference (pages 335-337) Section 11.4 while completing this problem Part A Bacteria and viruses are inactivated by temperatures above 141 °C in an autoclave. An autoclave contains steam at 1.00 atm and 100°C. At what pressure, in atmospheres, will the temperature of the steam in the autoclave reach 141C, if n and V do not change? Express the pressure to three significant figures and include the appropriate units Value Units Submit My Answers Give Up Provide F eedback

Explanation / Answer

pressure P1 = 1.00 atm

Temperature T1 = 100 oC = 373 K

temperature T2 = 141 oC = 414 K

P1 / T1 = P2 / T2

1.00 / 373 = P2 / 414

P2 = 1.11

pressure = 1.11 atm
