Question

Charles' Law states that the volume of a gas varies directly with the Kelvin temperature. assuming that pressure is constant. We use the following formulas K = "C + 273 Solve the following problems assuming a constant pressure A sample of nitrogen occupies a volume of 250 mL at 25° C. occupy at 95° C? 1. What volume will it 2. Oxygen gas is at a temperature of 40° C when it occupies a volume of 2.3 liters. To what temperature should it be raised to occupy a volume of 6.5 liters? Hydrogen gas was cooled from 150 C to 50P C. Its new volume is 75 mL. What was its original volume? 3. Chlorine gas occuples a volume of 25 ml at 300 K. What volume will it occupy at 600 K? 4. A sample of neon gas at 50° C and a volume of 2.5 liters is cooled to 25 C. What is the new volume? 5. Fluorine gas at 3o5 K occupies a volume of 500mL. To what temperature should it be lowered to bring the volume to 300 mL? 6. 7. Helium occupies a volume of 3.8 liters at -45 C. What volume will it occupy at 45 C A sample of argon gas is cooled and its volume went from 380 mL to 250 mL. If its final temperature was-55° C, what was its original temperature? 8.

Explanation / Answer

1) According to charles law V1/T1 = V2/T2, Here Temperature is converted onto kelvin so T1 = 25+273 = 298 K

so T1 = 298 K , V1 = 250 ml , T2 = 95+273 = 368 K

so V2 = V1 x T2 / T1

= 250 x 368 / 298 = 308.7 ml .

2) T1 = 40 + 273 = 313 K

V1 = 2.3 L = 2300 ml ,

V2 = 6.5 L = 6500 ml

T2 = V2 x T1/ V1

T2 = 6500 x 313 / 2300

= 884.6 K  

converting in degree celcius = 884.6 - 273 = 611.60 C

T2 =  611.60 C

3) T1 = 423 K

T2 = 323 K

V2 = 75 ml

V1 = V2 x T1 / T2

= 75 x 423 / 323

= 98.2 ml

4) V1 = 25 ml

T1 = 300 K

T2 = 600 K

V2 = V1 x T2 / T1  

= 25 x 600 / 300

= 50 ml

5) V1 = 2.5 ml

T1 = 50 + 273 =323 K

T2 = 25 + 273 = 298 K

V2 = V1 x T2 / T1

= 2.5 x 298 / 323

= 2.3 L
