Question

What happens to the volume of a gas in a closed container if the temperature increases, but the pressure remains the same? Why?

Answer 1

Answer:

Volume will goes to increase.

Explanation:

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

So when the temperature goes to increase the volume of gas also increase. Higher temperature increase the kinetic energy and molecules move randomly every where in given space so volume increase.

Now we will put the suppose values in formula.

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₂ = V₁T₂/T₁  

V₂ = 4.5 L × 348 K / 298 k

V₂ = 1566 L.K / 298 K

V₂ = 5.3 L

Hence prove that volume increase by increasing the temperature.
