Question

A gas sample has a temperature of 22c with an unknown volume. The same gas has a volume of 456 mL when the temperature is 86c with no change in the pressure or amount of gas. What was the initial volume in millimeters oh the gas

Answer 1

The initial volume is 116.65 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Temperature, T₁ = 22°C

T₂ = 86°C

Volume, V₂ = 456 m

V₁ = ?

According to Charle's law:

`(V_1)/(T_1) = (V_2)/(T_2)`

Substituting the values:

`(V_1)/(22) =(456)/(86) \\\\V_1 = (456 X 22)/(86) \\\\V_1 = 116.65 mL`

Therefore, the initial volume is 116.65 mL
