A gas starts out with a volume of 114 liters and temperature of 273 K. The volume then increases to 216 liters. If the pressure didn't change, what is the new temperature of the gas?​

Answer:

517.3 K

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial volume of gas V1= 114 L

Initial temp. T1= 273 K

Final volume V2= 216 L

Final temp. T2= ?

From Charles law, Volume is directly proportional to temperature provided pressure is kept constant

V1/T1 = V2/T2

T2 = V2T1/V1

T2 = (216×273)/114

T2 = 517.3 K
