Question 1 (2 points)

2.5 L of a gas is heated from 200 K to 300 K. What is the final volume of the gas?

Answer 1

Answer:

3.75 L

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Charles' law, which states:

• V₁T₂=V₂T₁

Where subscript 1 stands for initial volume and temperature and subscript 2 for final volume and temperature, meaning that in this case:

• V₁ = 2.5 L

• T₂ = 300 K

• V₂ = ?

• T₁ = 200 K

We input the data:

• 2.5 L * 300 K = V₂ * 200 K

And solve for V₂:

• V₂ =  3.75 L
