Question

the pressure and temperature of 10 liters of gas are doubled. if the original condition are 2 atmosphere of pressure and 400k what is the final volume

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{10 L}}$

Explanation:

We have two pressures, two temperatures, and one volume.

This looks like a question in which we can use the Combined Gas Law to calculate the volume.

$\dfrac{p_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \dfrac{p_{2}V_{2} }{T_{2}}$

Data:

$\begin{array}{rclrclrcl}p_{1}& =& \text{2 atm}\qquad & V_{1} &= & \text{10 L}\qquad & T_{2}& =& \text{400 K}\\p_{2}& =& \text{4 atm}\qquad & V_{2} &= & \text{?}\qquad & T_{2}& =& \text{800 K}\\\end{array}$

Calculation:

$\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{2 \times 10}{400}& =& \dfrac{4V_{2} }{800}\\\\0.050& = &0.0050V_{2}\\V_{2}& = &\mathbf{10 L}\end{array}\\\text{The final volume is }\boxed{\textbf{10 L}}$
