A gas sample has an initial volume of 2.0 L at a temperature of 273 K. If the temperature is increased to 300 K while keeping the pressure constant, using Charle’s law what will be the new volume of the gas?
According to Charles's law, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature in Kelvin at constant pressure.
V1 / T1 = V2 / T2
Substituting the given values, we have:
(2.0 L) / (273 K) = V2 / (300 K)
Solving for V2:
V2 = (2.0 L x 300 K) / (273 K) = 2.191 L (rounded to three decimal places)
Therefore, the new volume of the gas will be approximately 2.191 L.
A gas sample has an initial volume of 10.0 L at a pressure of 2.0 atm and a temperature of 298 K. If the number of moles of gas is doubled while keeping the pressure and temperature constant, using Avogadro’s law what will be the new volume of the gas?
According to Avogadro's law, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles at constant pressure and temperature.
V1 / n1 = V2 / n2
Substituting the given values, we have:
(10.0 L) / (1 mole) = V2 / (2 moles)
Solving for V2:
V2 = (10.0 L x 2 moles) / (1 mole) = 20.0 L
Therefore, the new volume of the gas will be 20.0 L
