Question

A 5.0 L sample of gas at 300. K is heated to 600. K. What will the new volume of the gas be?

Answer 1

Answer:

$V_2=10L$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to calculate the required new volume by using the Charles' law as a directly proportional relationship between temperature and volume:

$\frac{V_2}{T_2} =\frac{V_1}{T_1}$

In such a way, we solve for V2 and plug in V1, T1 and T2 to obtain:

$V_2=\frac{V_1T_2}{T_1}\\\\V_2=\frac{5.0L*600K}{300K}\\\\V_2=10L$
