A sample of gas occupies 10.0 L at 240°C under a pressure of

80.0 kPa. At what temperature would the gas occupy 20.0 L if
we increased the pressure to 107 kPa?

Answer: 1090°C

Explanation: According to combined gas laws

(P1 × V1) ÷ T1 = (P2 × V2) ÷ T2

where P1 = initial pressure of gas = 80.0 kPa

V1 = initial volume of gas = 10.0 L

T1 = initial temperature of gas = 240 °C = (240 + 273) K = 513 K

P2 = final pressure of gas = 107 kPa

V2 = final volume of gas = 20.0 L

T2 = final temperature of gas

Substituting the values,

(80.0 kPa × 10.0 L) ÷ (513 K) = (107 kPa × 20.0 L) ÷ T2

T2 = 513 K × (107 kPa ÷80.0 kPa) × (20.0 L ÷ 10.0 L)

T2 = 513 K × (1.3375) × (2)

T2 = 1372.275 K

T2 = (1372.275 - 273) °C

T2 = 1099 °C
