A sample of xenon gas occupies a volume of 6.80 L at 52.0°C and 1.05 atm. If it is desired to increase the volume of the gas sample to 7.87 L, while increasing its pressure to 1.34 atm, the temperature of the gas sample at the new volume and pressure must be °C.

207.03°C

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

V1 (initial volume) = 6.80 L

T1 (initial temperature) = 52.0°C = 52 + 273 = 325K

P1 (initial pressure) = 1.05 atm

V2 (final volume) = 7.87 L

P2 (final pressure) = 1.34 atm

T2(final temperature) =?

Using the general gas equation P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2, the final temperature of the gas sample can be obtained as follow:

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

1.05 x 6.8/325 = 1.34 x 7.87/T2

Cross multiply to express in linear form as shown below:

1.05 x 6.8 x T2 = 325 x 1.34 x 7.87

Divide both side by 1.05 x 6.8

T2 = (325 x 1.34 x 7.87) /(1.05 x 6.8)

T2 = 480.03K

Now, let us convert 480.03K to a number in celsius scale. This is illustrated below:

°C = K - 273

°C = 480.03 - 273

°C = 207.03°C

Therefore, the final temperature of the gas will be 207.03°C

the correct answer is:
