The temperature of a 500. mL sample of gas increases from 150. K to 350. K. What is the final volume of the sample of gas, if the pressure and amount of gas in the container is kept constant

The final volume of the gas is 1.17 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of a sample gas = 500 mL = 0.500 L

The initial temperature = 150 K

The temperature of the gas increases to 350 K

The pressure and amount of gas stays constant

Step 2: Calculate final volume of gas

V1/T1 = V2/T2

⇒with V1 = the initial volume of the gas = 0.500 L

⇒with T1 = the initial temperature of the gas = 150 K

⇒with V2 = the final volume of the gas = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with T2 = the final volume of the gas = 350 K

0.500L / 150 K = V2 / 350 K

V2 = 1.17 L

The final volume of the gas is 1.17 L
