Question

A sample of a gas occupies 2.76 L at 303K. What would the volume be if the temperature was increased to 404K? Assume constant
pressure and mass.

Answer 1

Answer:

If the temperature was increased to 404 K, its volume would be 3.68 L.

Explanation:

Charles' Law gives a relationship between the volume and the temperature of the gas at constant temperature. This law states that the volume of a given amount of gas held at constant pressure is directly proportional to the temperature.

$V\propto T$

$\dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{T_1}{T_2}$

Let

$V_1=2.76\ L\\\\T_1=303\ K\\\\T_2=404\ K$

Let $V_2$ is new volume. Using above formula we get :

$V_2=\dfrac{V_1T_2}{T_1}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{2.76\times 404}{303}\\\\V_2=3.68\ L$

If the temperature was increased to 404 K, its volume would be 3.68 L.
