Question

A gas sample with a volume of 1,500 cm® is heated from -65 °C to 75 °C. Assuming the

Answer 1

Answer:

V₂ = 2509.62 cm³

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 1500 cm³

Initial temperature = -65°C (-65 + 273 = 208 K)

Final temperature = 75°C ( 75 +273 = 348 K)

Final volume = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solve through the Charles Law.

According to this law, The volume of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant number of moles and pressure.

Mathematical expression:

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

V₂ = Final volume  

T₂ = Final temperature

Now we will put the values in formula.

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₂ = V₁T₂/T₁  

V₂ = 1500 cm³ × 348 K / 208 k

V₂ = 522000 cm³.K / 208 k

V₂ = 2509.62 cm³
