"High temperatures make the gas molecules move more quickly" is the one sentence among all the choices given in the question that most likely explains why this reaction is carried out at high temperature. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "C".
Question:
<span>A sample of nitrogen gas had a volume of 500mL, a pressure in its closed container of 740 torr and a temperature of 25°c. what was the volume of gas when the temperature was changed to 50°c and the new pressure was 760 torr?
Answer:
Data Given:
V</span>₁ = 500 mL
P₁ = 740 torr
T₁ = 25 °C + 273 = 298 K
V₂ = ?
P₂ = 760 torr
T₂ = 50 °C + 273 = 323 K
Solution:
Let suppose the gas is acting Ideally, then According to Ideal Gas Equation,
P₁ V₁ / T₁ = P₂ V₂ / T₂
Solving for V₂,
V₂ = (P₁ V₁ T₂) ÷ (T₁ P₂)
Putting Values,
V₂ = (740 torr × 500 mL × 323 K) ÷ (298 K × 760 torr)
V₂ = 527.68 mL
