A 100 mL of gas is
measured at 40 °C. If the
pressure
remains
constant, what will be the
volume of the gas at 0 °C.​


Sagot :

Given:

[tex]V_{1} = \text{100 mL}[/tex]

[tex]T_{1} = 40^{\circ}\text{C + 273 = 313 K}[/tex]

[tex]T_{2} = 0^{\circ}\text{C + 273 = 273 K}[/tex]

Required:

[tex]V_{2}[/tex]

Strategy:

This is a gas law problem. What gas law should we use?

Since the given quantities are volume and temperature, we will use Charles' law. According to this gas law, the volume occupied by a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature keeping the pressure and the amount of gas constant.

Caution: The temperature must be converted to kelvin. If the given temperature is in degree Celsius, add 273 or 273.15 to convert it to kelvin.

The formula used for Charles' law is

[tex]\boxed{\dfrac{V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \dfrac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}}[/tex]

where:

[tex]V_{1} = \text{initial volume}[/tex]

[tex]T_{1} = \text{initial temperature}[/tex]

[tex]V_{2} = \text{final volume}[/tex]

[tex]T_{2} = \text{final temperature}[/tex]

Solution:

Starting with the formula of Charles' law

[tex]\dfrac{V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \dfrac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}[/tex]

Multiplying both sides of the equation by T₂ to solve for V₂

[tex]V_{2} = V_{1} \times \dfrac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}[/tex]

Substituting the given values and solving for V₂

[tex]V_{2} = \text{100 mL} \times \dfrac{\text{273 K}}{\text{313 K}}[/tex]

Therefore, the final volume is

[tex]\boxed{V_{2} = \text{87.2 mL}}[/tex]

Answer:

V₂ = 87.2 mL
