A gas sample has a temperature of 22c with an unknown volume. The same gas has a volume of 456 mL when the temperature is 86c with no change in the pressure or amount of gas. What was the initial volume in millimeters oh the gas

Answer:

V₁  = 374.71  mL

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume of gas= ?

Initial temperature = 22°C

Final temperature = 86°C

Final volume = 456 mL

Solution:

Initial temperature = 22°C (22+273 = 295 k)

Final temperature = 86°C (86+273 = 359 k)

The given problem will be solve through the Charles Law.

According to this law, The volume of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant number of moles and pressure.

Mathematical expression:

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

V₂ = Final volume  

T₂ = Final temperature

Now we will put the values in formula.

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₁ = V₂T₁ /T₂

V₁  = 456 mL × 295 K / 359 k

V₁  = 134520 mL.K /  359 k

V₁  = 374.71  mL
