A gas at 255 kilopascals and 45°C has an initial volume of 2.00L. The pressure of the gas increases to 805 kilopascals as the temperature is raised to 255°C. What will be the new volume?
1.05 liters
2.28 liters
1.25 liters
0.44 liters
1.50 liters

Respuesta :

Answer : The correct option is, (a) 1.05 liters

Solution :

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

[tex]\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}[/tex]

where,

[tex]P_1[/tex] = initial pressure of gas = 255 kpa

[tex]P_2[/tex] = final pressure of gas = 805 kpa

[tex]V_1[/tex] = initial volume of gas = 2 L

[tex]V_2[/tex] = final volume of gas = ?

[tex]T_1[/tex] = initial temperature of gas = [tex]45^oC=273+45=318K[/tex]

[tex]T_2[/tex] = final temperature of gas = [tex]255^oC=273+255=528K[/tex]

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get the final volume of gas.

[tex]\frac{255kpa\times 2L}{318K}=\frac{805kpa\times V_2}{528K}[/tex]

[tex]V_2=1.05L[/tex]

Therefore, the final or new volume of gas will be, 1.05 liters
