Question

Using Charles law if the volume of a gas is 5.0 L when the temperature is 5.0C what will the new volume be if the temperature is raised to 10C and the pressure remains the same

Answer 1

The answer to your question is V2 = 5.09 l

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Volume 1 = V1 = 5.0 L

Temperature 1 = T1 = 5°C

Volume 2 = V2 = ?

Temperature 2 = T2 = 10°C

Formula (Charles law)

V1/T1 = V2/T2

-Solve for V2

V2 = V1T2 / T1

-Convert temperature to °K

T1 = 5 + 273 = 278°K

T2 = 10 + 273 = 283°K

-Substitution

V2 = (5)(283) / (278)

-Simplification

V2 = 1415 / 278

-Result

V2 = 5.09 l
