Bois, can anyone explain this thermodynamics problem to me?
You change the temperature of an ideal gas, sealed in a container. In which of the following scenarios is the pressure rise the greatest?
A) Heating the gas at 150 ºC by 50 ºC
B) Heating the gas at 150 K by 50 K
My textbook says the answer is B), but I don't understand why. Please explain senpai

PV=nRT
P/T = nR/V = constant
So P and T are proportional
150K->150K+50K is an increase of 33%
150ºC (150+273K=423K) -> 200ºC (473K) is an increase of 12%
Pissing in someone's mouth is more effective than pissing in their pool even though you add the same amount.

In an isochoric (constant volume) system, initial pressure/initial temp= final pressure/final temp
Convert the Celsius to kelvin and plug the numbers in.

Oh shit, how did I not see that?
Thanks a lot famalam, you saved me xoxo

No worries, I'm at pretty much the same point in my physics class. Tricky stuff when you first learn it.

You truly are the Feynman of our times.
