Question

A gas sample at 40° C occupies a volume of 3.22 L. If the temperature is raised to 55°C, what will the volume be, assuming the pressure remains constant?

Answer 1

3.374L

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Charle's Law:

V1/T1=V2/T2 (At constant pressure and moles)

where V=Volume and T=Temperature.

The temperature must be in kelvin.

K=C°+273

T1=40+273=313K

T2=55+273=328K

By applying the formula, we get:

3.22/313=V2/328

V2=(3.22*328)/313

V2=3.374L
