Question

(The question is in the photo Sorry lol) A sample of a gas occupies 1234 mL at 237°C and 740 torr. At what temperature would it occupy 1023.4 mL if the pressure is kept constant?Answer in units of °C.✨ Please leave the numbers after the decimal in the final answer

Answer 1

Okay so if the temperature is constant, and you want either V or T then it is Charles gas law:

`(V_1)/(T_1)\text{ = }(V_2)/(T_2)`

We are given the following:

V1 = 1234 mL

T1 = 237 degrees celsius

V2 = 1023.4 mL

T2 = ?

Since we want the answer in degrees celsius, we do not need to covert to kelvin.

T2 = (T1V2)/V1

T2 = (237 x 1023.4)/1234

T2 = 196.5525122 degrees celsius
