A gas occupies .745 L at 55.9 Kelvin. At what Celsius temperature will its volume be 53.89? Assume pressure remains constant
2 Answers
Explanation:
We can apply Charles law in here which states that under constant pressure V(volume) is proportional to Temperature
Therefore
And it's sure that the question is not changing adiabatically. As we also don't know the values of specific heat.
Therefore substituting the values in the equation gives us:
=>
The final temperature is
Explanation:
This is an example of Charles' law, which states that the volume of a given amount of gas held at constant pressure is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature. This means that if the volume increases so does the temperature, and vice versa. The equation for this law is:
Known
Unknown
Solution
Rearrange the equation to isolate
Temperature in degrees Celsius:
Subtract
