An SO2 sample occupies a volume of 60 ml at 318 K. At what temperature will the gas occupy a volume of 180 ml?

THE TEMPERATURE OF THE GAS AT 180 mL IS 957 K

Explanation:

This question follows Charles' law of the theory of gases. it states that the volume of a fixed mass of gas varies directly with the absolute temperature provided the pressure remains constant.

Mathematically, V1 /T1 = V2 /T2

V1 = 60 mL = 60 /1000 L = 0.06 L

T1 = 319 K

V2 = 180 mL = 180 /1000 L = 1.80 L

T2 = ?

Making T2 the subject of the formula, we have;

T2 = V2 * T1 / V1

T2 = 0.180 * 319 / 0.06

T2 = 57. 42 / 0.06

T2 = 957 K

So therefore, the temperature of the gas at a new volume of 180 mL is 957 K

the atomic mass is the bottom number on the element.
