Question

if the Celsius temperature of a gas at constant pressure is increased from 10 Celsius to 20 Celsius the volume is

Answer 1

The volume is increased.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Charles' Law, " at constant pressure the volume and temperature of the gas are directly proportional to each other". Mathematically this law is presented as;

V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂ -----(1)

In statement the data given is,

T₁ = 10 °C = 283.15 K ∴ K = 273.15 + °C

T₂ = 20 °C = 293.15 K

So, it is clear that the temperature is being increased hence, we will find an increase in volume. Let us assume that the starting volume is 100 L, so,

V₁ = 100 L

V₂ = Unknown

Now, we will arrange equation 1 for V₂ as,

V₂ = V₁ × T₂ / T₁

Putting values,

V₂ = 100 L × 293.15 K / 283.15 K

V₂ = 103.52 L

Hence, it is proved that by increasing temperature from 10 °C to 20 °C resulted in the increase of Volume from 100 L to 103.52 L.
