If the temp of a quanity of gas changes from 100C to 200C will the volume of the gas double if the pressure remains constant?
I know that the volume will increase but i am not sure if it will double or not?
No, it would be 373K to 473K.
so the volume would not double?
Volume is directly proportional to temperature (IN degrees KELVIN) so doubling T will double the volume. Is 100 C to 200 C doubling the Kelvin temperature>
To determine the change in volume of a gas when its temperature is increased while the pressure remains constant, we can use Charles's Law, which states that the volume of a given amount of gas is directly proportional to its temperature in Kelvin.
To solve this problem, we need to convert the temperatures from Celsius to Kelvin. The equation to convert Celsius to Kelvin is Kelvin = Celsius + 273.15.
So, let's convert the initial and final temperatures to Kelvin:
Initial temperature (Ti) = 100°C → 100 + 273.15 = 373.15 K
Final temperature (Tf) = 200°C → 200 + 273.15 = 473.15 K
Now, we can compare the initial and final temperatures in Kelvin. If the temperature doubles, the volume of the gas will also double.
In this case, the temperature increases from 373.15 K to 473.15 K, which is not a doubling of the initial temperature. Therefore, we can conclude that the volume of the gas will increase, but it will not double if the pressure remains constant.
