Question

A gas has a volume of 590 ml at a temperature of -55.0°C. What volume will the gas occupy at 30.0°C?

Answer 1

819 ml is the volume the gas will occupy at 30.0°C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given:

initial volume of the gas V1 = 590 ml

initial temperature of the gas T1 = -55 degrees OR 218.15

final volume of the gas V2 = ?

final temperature of the gas T2 = 30 degrees OR 303.15

Charles' Law equation is used to calculate the volume of gas at 30 degrees from the data given in the question.

`(V1)/(T1)`=
`(V2)/(T2)`

V2 =
`(V1T2)/(T1)`

V2 =
`(590 X 303.15)/(218.15)`

V2 = 819 ml

The final volume of the gas would be 819 ml.
