a) 12.41
b) 46.42
c) 67.68
d) 81.74

Answer:67.68

Step-by-step explanation:

actually the formula is for Charles Law and it is V1/T1 = V2/T2

This is one of the ideal gas laws. Presumably the pressure remains the same so it is not part of the givens.

Formula

V / T = V1 / T1

Givens

  • V = 56.05 mL
  • T = 315.1 degrees Kelvin
  • V1 = x
  • T1 = 380.5 degrees Kelvin

Solution

56.05/315.1 = x/380.5 Simplify the left.

0.1779 = x / 380.5 Multiply both sides by 380.5

0.1779 * 380.5 = 380.5x/380.5

67.68 mL = x This is your answer
