Question

A container holds 50.0ml of nitrogen at 25°c and a pressure of 736 mm hg. What will be it's volume if the temperature increases by 35°c.

Answer 1

Answer:

51.7 mL

Explanation:

Data Given

initial volume V1 = 50 mL

final Volume V2 = ?

initial Temperature T1 = 25° C

convert Temperature to Kelvin

                 T1 = 25° C + 273 = 298K

final Temperature T2 = 35° C

convert Temperature to Kelvin

                 T2 = 35° C + 273 = 298K

Solution:

The formula used

                   V1 / T1 = V2 / T2

As we have to find out volume, so rearrange the above equation

                    V2 = V1 x  T2 / T1

Put value in above equation

                    V2 = 50 mL x  308K / 298K

                     V2 = 51.7 mL

So the final volume of Nitrogen = 51.7 mL
