At 17 celsius a sample of gas has a volume of 580ml. if the volume is increased to 700ml, what will the temperature be in celsius

77 °C  

Explanation:

This looks like a case where we can use Charles’ Law:  

Data:

V₁ = 580 mL; T₁ = 17 °C

V₂ = 700 mL; T₂ = ?  

Calculations:

(a) Convert the temperature to kelvins

T₁ = (17 + 273.15) K  = 290.15 K

(b) Calculate the temperature

(c) Convert the temperature back to Celsius

T₂ = (350 – 273.15) °C = 77 °C

answer: the rate of diffusion increases with increase in temperature.

increase in temperature, increases the molecular/particles speed (kinetic energy. diffusion means movement of particles through the material.

generally, the heavier the particle the more it interacts with the environment and more the temperature matters. so higher temperature results in higher diffusion.
