Sample of gas has a volume of 500 degree celsius what volume will the gas occupy at 0 degrees Celsius when the pressure remains constant
To solve this problem, we can use the Charles's Law equation which states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant pressure.
Mathematically, this can be represented as:
(V1 / T1) = (V2 / T2)
Where:
V1 = Initial volume of gas (500 degrees Celsius)
T1 = Initial temperature of gas (500 degrees Celsius)
V2 = Final volume of gas (at 0 degrees Celsius)
T2 = Final temperature of gas (0 degrees Celsius)
Let's plug in the values:
(500 / 500) = (V2 / 273) [Converting 0 degrees Celsius to Kelvin by adding 273]
1 = V2 / 273
V2 = 273
Therefore, the gas will occupy a volume of 273 units at 0 degrees Celsius when the pressure remains constant.
