Gas Volume Calculation at Different Temperatures
Calculation of Gas Volume at Different Temperatures
A sample of gas has a volume of 3.50 L and a temperature of 298 K. We need to determine the volume of the same gas sample if the temperature is decreased to 285 K at a constant pressure.
Volume(v1): 3.5 L
Temperature(T1): 298 K
Final Conditions:
Temperature(T2): 285 K
Volume(v2): ?
Using the general gas equation:
P1*v1/T1 = P2*v2/T2
Note: Pressure is constant, so the equation becomes:
v1/T1 = v2/T2
3.5/298 = v2/285
v2 = 3.347 L
A sample of gas has a volume of 3.50 L and a temperature of 298 K. What would be the volume of the same gas sample if the temperature is decreased to 285 K at a constant pressure? The volume of the gas sample would be 3.347 L when the temperature is decreased to 285 K at a constant pressure.
