Question

A gas sample has an initial volume of 178 ml at 5.00 c. The temperature is raised at constant pressure until the volume is 211 ml. What is the final temperature of the gas in celsius.

Answer 1

5.93° C

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Charles law. It states that when the pressure of a gas is constant, the ratio of volume and temperature of the gas is constant. Mathematically:

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

`V_1 = 178 ml\\\\\\T_1 = 5^o C\\\\\\V_2 = 211 ml`

Hence, the final temperature,
`T_2`, will be:

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

`T_2 = (211 * 5)/(178) \\\\\\T_2 = 5.93^o C`

The final temperature of the gas is 5.93°C
