Verified Answer :

The answer is D. 448.955 kPa

By definition we have to:


\(Pabs = Patm + Pg
\)

Where,

Pabs: absolute pressure

Patm: atmospheric pressure

Pg: gage pressure

The atmospheric pressure is constant and its value is:


\(Patm = 101.325 kPa
\)

Then, by clearing gage pressure we have:


\(Pg = Pabs - Patm
\)

Substituting values we have:

\(Pg = 550.280 - 101.325

Pg = 448.955 KPa
\)

Answer:

If the absolute pressure of a gas is 550.280 kPa, its gage pressure is:

D. 448.955 kPa
