Question

A gas has a volume of 5.00 L at 20 degrees Celsius. What is the volume of gas at 150 degrees Celsius.

Answer 1

Answer:

7.22 L

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying Charles law,

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂...................... Equation 1

Where V₁ = Initial volume of gas, V₂ = Final volume of gas, T₁ = Initial Temperature of gas in Kelvin, T₂ = Final Temperature of gas in Kelvin

Make V₂ the subject of the equation

V₂ = (V₁×T₂)/T₁................. Equation 2

Given: V₁ = 5.00 L, T₁ = 20 °C = (20+273) K = 293 K, T₂ = 150 °C = (150+273) K = 423 K

Substitute these value into equation 2

V₂ = (5.00×423)/293

V₂ = 7.22 L
