Question

A 2.00 L sample of gas at 35C is to be heated at constant pressure until it reaches a volume of 5.25 L. To what Kelvin temperature must this sample be heated?

Answer 1

Answer:

The sample will be heated to 808.5 Kelvin

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume before heating = 2.00L

Temperature before heating = 35.0°C = 308 K

Volume after heating = 5.25 L

Pressure is constant

Step 2: Calculate temperature

V1 / T1 = V2 /T2

⇒ V1 = the initial volume = 2.00 L

⇒ T1 = the initial temperature = 308 K

⇒ V2 = the final volume = 5.25 L

⇒ T2 = The final temperature = TO BE DETERMINED

2.00L / 308.0 = 5.25L / T2

T2 = 5.25/(2.00/308.0)

T2 = 808.5 K

The sample will be heated to 808.5 Kelvin
