A sample of xenon gas at a pressure of 911 mm Hg and a temperature of 72 °C, occupies a volume of 10.8 liters. If the gas is heated at constant pressure to a temperature of 96 °C, the volume of the gas sample will be___L
Are u sure we are dividing and not multiplying because when i divided am getting some wrong answer
My crystal ball doesn't work very well so I don't know what you're doing. The most common student mistake is to use degrees C instead of degrees K. Why don't you post your work and I'll find the error. The general gas law formula is
(P1V1/T1) = (P2V2/T2) but since P is constant (P1 = P2) then P isn't needed in the formula. Yes, I am absolutely positive that (V1/T1) = (V2/T2) and yes that's divided. I've used this formula for 60 years and taught it for 40 years. It works every time.
What kind of help? This is done the same way you last problem was solved.
Use (V1/T1) = (V2/T2). T must be in Kelvin so convert degrees C to K by
K = 273 + C
There is an easy way to remember all of these gas law problems. If your prof hasn't shown you how to do this I can show you when you have the time. Do you have a printer? You could print out what I send.
