Question

If gas is initially at 350L and 500k then changes to 295K what is the new volume

Answer 1

Hello!

The answer is:

The new volume is equal to 206.5 L.

Why?

To solve this problem, we need to assume that the pressure is constant, and use the Charle's Law equation, so, solving we have:

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

We are given:

$V_1=350L\\T_1=500K\\T_2=295K$

Then, using the Charle's Law equation, we have:

$\frac{350L}{500K}=\frac{V_2}{295K}$

$\frac{350L}{500K}=\frac{V_2}{295K}\\\\V_2=\frac{350L}{500K}*295K=206.5L$

Hence, we have that the new volume is equal to 206.5 L.

Have a nice day!
