Answer:
3.676 L.
Explanation:
We can use the general law of ideal gas: PV = nRT.
where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.
V is the volume of the gas in L.
n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.
R is the general gas constant,
T is the temperature of the gas in K.
If n and P are constant, and have different values of V and T:
(V₁T₂) = (V₂T₁)
Knowing that:
V₁ = 3.5 L, T₁ = 25°C + 273 = 298 K,
V₂ = ??? L, T₂ = 40°C + 273 = 313 K,
Applying in the above equation
(V₁T₂) = (V₂T₁)
∴ V₂ = (V₁T₂)/(T₁) = (3.5 L)(313 K)/(298 K) = 3.676 L.
