Question

Diagram shows that both gases occupy the same volume under the same conditions of temperature and pressure. Show a numerical set up for how you will calculate the new volume of the gas, if the pressure remains constant ( at 1.2atm), but the temperature is raised from 293k to 398K. ​

Answer 1

1.70 L

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Pressure (P) = constant = 1.2 atm

Initial volume (V1) = 1.25 L

Initial temperature (T1) = 293 K

Final temperature (T2) = 398 K

Final volume (V2) =?

Since the pressure is constant, the gas is obeying Charles' law. Thus, we can obtain the new volume (V2) of the gas by applying the Charles' equation as shown below:

V1/T1 = V2/T2

1.25 / 293 = V2 /398

Cross multiply

293 × V2 = 1.25 × 398

293 × V2 = 497.5

Divide both side by 293

V2 = 497.5 / 293

V2 = 1.70 L

Therefore, the new volume of the gas is 1.70 L.
