Question

A gas has a volume of 590 mL at a temperature of -55.0°C what volume will the gas occupy at 30.0°C? Show your work.

Answer 1

First convert the temperatures to degrees K:

-55 = 218⁰ K.

30 =  303⁰ K.

Using  Charles' Law the volume v is calculated as follows  :-

590 / 218  = v / 303

v = 590*303 / 218

v =  820 mL  to the nearest mL  (answer).
