Question

Pls help!!!

The temperature of a gas rose from 27°C to 77°C. At 77°C, the volume of the gas was 7.5 L. If the pressure did not change, what
was the initial volume of the gas

Answer 1

The initial volume of the gas : 6.43 L

Further explanation

Given

Temperature :

T₁=27+273 = 300 K

T₂=77+273 = 350 K

Volume : V₂=7.5 L

Required

The initial volume=V₁

Solution

Charles's Law

When the gas pressure is kept constant, the gas volume is proportional to the temperature

`\tt (V_1)/(T_1)=(V_2)/(T_2)`

Input the value :

V₁=(V₂ x T₁)/T₂

V₁=(7.5 L x 300 K)/350 K

V₁ = 6.43 L
