You conduct an experiment in which you measure the temperature (T) and volume (V) of a mysterious sphere of gas at several different temperatures.

The sphere can expand or shrink to any volume without changing the pressure of the gas inside.
As a result of your experiment, you find that the volume (V) of the gas divided by its temperature (T) is always equal to 1.75.
What would the volume (V) of the gas be at a temperature of 300K? (assume the unit for volume is liters)

Volume of the gas is 525 L.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the volume of the gas divided by the temperature is 1.75.

V/T = 1.75

As per the Charles law, volume is proportional to the temperature.

V ∝ T

V/T = constant

Now we have to find V, and T is given as 300 K.

So plugin the values as,

V/300 = 1.75

Rearranging the equation to get V as,

V = 1.75×300

= 525 L
