Question

A sample of oxygen gas has a volume of 150. milliliters at 300 k. if the pressure of the sample is held constant and the temperature is raised to 600 k, the new volume of the sample will be

Answer 1

The volume will be 300 ml

Answer 2

The new volume of the sample will be 300 milliliteres

Step-by-step explanation:

We were given the following;

Initial Volume (V1) = 150ml

Initial Temperature (T1) = 300K

Final Temperature (T2) = 600K

Final Volume (V2) = ?

Pressure is held constant.

The law applicable in solving this question is that of Charle's law. This law states that the volume of a fixed mass of gas varies proportional to the temperature at constant pressure.

The formula is given as;

`(V1 )/(T1) = (V2 )/(T2)`

Solving for V2. we have;

`V2 = (V1T2)/(T1)`

V2 = ( 150 * 600) / 300

V2 = 300 ml
