Question

A gas sample has a temperature of 22c with an unknown volume. The same gas has a volume of 456 mL when the temperature is 86c with no change in the pressure or amount of gas. What was the initial volume in millimeters oh the gas

Answer 1

The initial volume is 116.65 mL

Explanation:

Given:

Temperature, T₁ = 22°C

T₂ = 86°C

Volume, V₂ = 456 m

V₁ = ?

According to Charle's law:

$\frac{V_1}{T_1} = \frac{V_2}{T_2}$

Substituting the values:

$\frac{V_1}{22} =\frac{456}{86} \\\\V_1 = \frac{456 X 22}{86} \\\\V_1 = 116.65 mL$

Therefore, the initial volume is 116.65 mL
