A gas has a volume of 4 liters at 50 oC. What will its volume be (in liters) at 100oC

The volume of the gas at 100°C is 4.6189 liters.

Explanation:

For this problem we are going to use Charles' law. Charles' law states that the volume is directly proportional to temperature given that the pressure is constant. In order to use the equation, the unit of temperature should be in Kelvin.

The working equation is:

=

where V1 and T1 are the initial volume and temperature while V2 and T2 are the final conditions.

Let us convert first the temperatures before solving for the final volume.

To convert Celsius to Kelvin just add 273.15 to temperature in Celsius.

50°C + 273.15 = 323.15 K

100°C + 273.15 = 373.15 K

Solving for the final volume:

V₂ =

V₂ =

V₂ = 4.6189 L

Therefore the final volume of the gas at 100°C is 4.6189 L.
