Question

217 mL of neon gas at 551 celsius is brought to standard temperature (0 celsius) while the pressure is held constant. What is the new volume?

Answer 1

71.9 is the right answer

Answer 2

Answer: The new volume is 72 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the final volume of the system, we use the equation given by Charles' Law. This law states that volume of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

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

where,

`V_1\text{ and }T_1` are the initial volume and temperature of the gas.

`V_2\text{ and }T_2` are the final volume and temperature of the gas.

We are given:

`V_1=217ml\\T_1=551^oC=(551+273)K=824K\\V_2=?\\T_2=0^0C=(0+273)K=273K`

Putting values in above equation, we get:

`(217ml)/(824K)=(V_2)/(273K)\\\\V_2=72ml`

Thus the new volume is 72 ml
