At room temperature oxygen, is present in the gas phase.
A gas is defined as a substance which is characterized by the rapidly movement of molecules which are widely separated. The shape and volume of gas is not definite that is they take on the shape of the container in which it is placed. The gas molecules have minimum inter-nuclear attractions and thus have high kinetic energy.
Thus, the sentences that describes oxygen at room temperature are:
- It has no definite volume and takes the shape of its container.
- Its particles move fast enough to overcome the attraction between them.
- It has more energy than it would be at a cooler temperature as the kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature that is kinetic energy increases on increasing the temperature.
Answer:
The new volume of the gas is 276.45 mL.
Explanation:
Charles's law indicates that for a given sum of gas at constant pressure, as the temperature increases, the volume of the gas increases, and as the temperature decreases, the volume of the gas decreases.
Charles's law is a law that mathematically says that when the amount of gas and pressure are kept constant, the quotient that exists between the volume and the temperature will always have the same value:
Analyzing an initial state 1 and a final state 2, it is satisfied:
In this case:
- V1= 250 mL
- T1= 293 K
- V2= ?
- T2= 324 K
Replacing:
Solving:
V2= 276.45 mL
<em><u>The new volume of the gas is 276.45 mL.</u></em>
