Question

Please help

A container containing 5.00 L of a gas is collected at 100 K and then allowed to expand to 20.0 L. What must the new temperature be in order to maintain the same pressure (as required by Charles' Law)?​

Answer 1

`T_2=400K`

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information for this question, it turns out possible for us to calculate the final temperature, after the expansion process, by using the well-known Charles' gas law:

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

Thus, we solve for the final temperature to obtain:

`T_2=(T_1V_2)/(V_1)`

And plug in the given values:

`T_2=(100K*20.0L)/(5.00L)\\\\T_2=400K`
