Question

If 10.0 L of oxygen gas at STP are heated to 512 Celsius what will be the new volume of the gas if the pressure is also increased to 1.75 ATM?

Answer 1

16.4 L

Step-by-step explanation:

we can use the combined gas law equation that gives the relationship among volume, temperature and pressure conditions of gases.

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

STP conditions are standard temperature and pressure conditions

P1 is standard pressure = 1 atm , T1 is standard temperature = 273 K

and V1 is the volume

P2 is pressure, T2 is temperature and V2 is volume at the second instance

temperature is in kelvin scale,

512 ° + 273 = 785 K

substituting the values in the equation

1 atm x 10.0 L / 273 K = 1.75 atm x V / 785 K

V = 16.4 L

new volume is 16.4 L
