Question

A sample of gas kept at a constant pressure, is heated from 273 k to 373 k. If the initial volume is 3.00 L, what is the new volume?

Answer 1

Answer: 4.10 liters

Explanation:

Given that:

initial volume of gas V1 = 3.0L

initial temperature of gas T1 = 273K

new volume V2 = ?

new temperature T2 = 373K

Since, only volume and temperature are involved, apply the formula for Charle's law

V1/T1 = V2/T2

3.0L/273K = V2/373K

To get the value of Z, cross multiply

3.0L x 373K = 273K x V2

1119 = 273V2

Divide both sides by 273

1119/273 = 273V2/273

4.10L = V2

Thus, the new volume is 4.10 liters
