A sample of nitrogen gas in a 750mL vessel at 40c and 200 Torr..?
A Sample of nitrogen gas in a 750mL vessel @40 C and 200 Torr. If the vessel (volume is held constant) is warmed to 50 C what is the resulting pressure? - How would I go about figuring this out?
Also, I have a similar problem which is:
A sample of Nitrogen gas in a 750mL vessel at 40 C and 200 Torr. If the vessel is expanded to 825mL (at constant temperature), what is the resulting pressure?
I was shown how to do these problems with an example, which covered both V change and T change. I cannot figure out how to do the problem with just one of them and not both..
I hope this question isnt too confusing, and I greatly appreciate any help I can get! Thank you so much :)

We use Charles' law
p1 / T1 = p2 / T2
T2 = 50 + 273 = 323 K
T1 = 40 + 273 = 313
750 / 313 = p2 / 323
p2 = 774 torr
2nd question
we use Boyle's law
p1V1 = p2 V2
200 x 750 = p2 x 825
p2 = 181,8 torr

1st question
using gay-lusaac's law
p1/t1=p2/t2
*t1 & t2 in Kelvin
t1=40+273=313
t2=50+273=314
p1=200
200/313=p2/314
p2=200.639 torr
2ND
using boyle's law
p1*v1=p2*v2
200*750=825(p2)
p2=181.82 torr
