Hello,
I wanted to know in this problem if I came to the correct answer...
Thank You
I used:
Vo/To = Vf/Tf
A quantity of gas has a volume of 0.20 cubic meter and an absolute temperature of 333 degrees Kelvin. When the temperature of the gas is raised to 533 degrees Kelvin, What is the new volume of the gas? ( assume there's no change in pressure.)
my answer:
0.3198 cubic meter
That is correct, although you may want to keep it to 2 significant figures, since the first volume is 2 sig figs:
Vf = 0.32 cubic meters.
To solve this problem, you correctly used the equation:
Vo/To = Vf/Tf
where:
Vo = initial volume of the gas
To = initial temperature of the gas in Kelvin
Vf = final volume of the gas (what you need to find)
Tf = final temperature of the gas in Kelvin
Given:
Vo = 0.20 cubic meters
To = 333 Kelvin
Tf = 533 Kelvin
To find Vf, you can rearrange the equation:
Vf = Vo * (Tf/To)
Let's substitute the given values:
Vf = 0.20 * (533/333)
Now, calculating this equation:
Vf ≈ 0.3198 cubic meters
So, your answer of 0.3198 cubic meters is correct.
Well done!
