Question:
              A sample of nitrogen gas had a volume of 500mL, a pressure in its closed container of 740 torr and a temperature of 25°c. what was the volume of gas when the temperature was changed to 50°c and the new pressure was 760 torr?

Answer:

Data Given:
                   V₁  =  500 mL

                   P₁  =  740 torr

                   T₁  =  25 °C + 273  =  298 K

                   V₂  =  ?

                   P₂  =  760 torr

                   T₂  =  50 °C + 273  =  323 K

Solution:
             Let suppose the gas is acting Ideally, then According to Ideal Gas Equation,

                      P₁ V₁ / T₁  =  P₂ V₂ / T₂

Solving for V₂,

                      V₂  =  (P₁ V₁ T₂) ÷ (T₁ P₂)

Putting Values,
  
                      V₂  =  (740 torr × 500 mL × 323 K) ÷ (298 K × 760 torr)

                      V₂  =  527.68 mL
