Question

A quantity of gas has a volume of 0.20 m3 and an absolute temperature of 333 K. When the temperature of the gas is raised to 533 K, what is the new volume of the gas? (Assume there's no change in pressure).

Answer 1

It should be 0.33 meters cubed.

Answer 2

0.32 m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

V1 = 0.2 m^3, T1 = 333 K, T2 = 533 K, V2 = ?

By the Charle's law

Volume is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.

V ∝ T

V1 / T1 = V2 / T2

V2 = V1 x T2 / T1

V2 = 0.20 x 533 / 333

V2 = 0.32 m^3
