The outermost shell of each carbon atom has four electrons. In diamond, these electrons are shared with four other carbon atoms to form very strong chemical bonds resulting in an extremely rigid tetrahedral crystal. It is this simple, tightly-bonded arrangement that makes diamond one of the hardest substances on Earth.

A gas has a volume of 3.25 liters at 54 C and 231 kPa of pressure. At what temperature will the same gas take up 4.35 liters of

Firdavs [7]

Answer: 318 K

Explanation:

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

where,

$P_1$ = initial pressure of gas = 231 kPa

$P_2$ = final pressure of gas = 168 kPa

$V_1$ = initial volume of gas = 3.25 L

$V_2$ = final volume of gas = 4.35 L

$T_1$ = initial temperature of gas = $54^oC=273+54=327K$

$T_2$ = final temperature of gas = ?

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$\frac{231\times 3.25}{327}=\frac{168\times 4.35}{T_2}$

$T_2=318K$

At 318 K of temperature will the same gas take up 4.35 liters of space and have a pressure of 168 kPa
