Question

You have a bag of chips at a constant pressure of 1 Atm with a volume of .5 L and a temperature of 10C. The bag is left under the sun for a couple of hours at a temperature of 35 C, what will its new volume be?

Answer 1

0.54 L

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Initial volume, V₁ = 0.5 L

Initial temperature, T₁ = 10°C = 283 K

Final temperature, T₂ = 35 C = 308 K

We need to find the final volume. The relation between the volume and temperature is given by :

`(V_1)/(T_1)=(V_2)/(T_2)\\\\V_2=(V_1T_2)/(T_1)\\\\V_2=(0.5* 308 )/(283)\\\\V_2=0.54\ L`

So, the new volume is 0.54 L.
