gas occupies 200 ml at a pressure of 27 degree celsius and 76 mmhg pressure find volume at -3 degree celsius with pressure remaining constant
Answers
Given :
Initial volume = 200ml
Initial temperature = 27°C
Final temperature = -3°C
To Find :
Final volume of the gas.
Solution :
❖ Charles' law : Pressure remaining constant, the volume of a fixed mass of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature. (V ∝ T)
Formula :
- V₁ denotes initial volume
- V₂ denotes final volume
- T₁ denotes initial temperature
- T₂ denotes final temperature
First of all we need to convert unit of temperature from °C to K.
We know that 0°C = 273K
» T₁ = 27°C = 27 + 273 = 300K
» T₂ = -3°C = -3 + 273 = 270K
By substituting the given values;
➙ V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂
➙ 200 / 300 = V₂ / 270
➙ V₂ = 270 × 2/3
➙ V₂ = 180 ml
Initial volume = 200ml
Initial temperature = 27°C
Final temperature = -3°C
Final volume of the gas.
Charles' law States that (V ∝ T)
Let,
V₁ = Initial volume
V₂ = Final volume
T₁ = Initial temperature
T₂ = Final temperature
Convert unit of temperature from °C to K.
0°C = 273K
T₁ = 27°C = 27 + 273 = 300K
T₂ = -3°C = -3 + 273 = 270K
Substituting the given values,
V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂
200 / 300 = V₂ / 270
V₂ = 270 × 2/3
