A gas occupies 40.0 mL at 127 degrees Celsius. What volume will it occupy at-73 degrees celsius? (Assume pressure and number of particles is constant.)
A)23.0 ml
B)8.80 ml
C) 79.2ml
D)20.0ml
E) None
According to Charles' Law the volume of a given amount of gas held at constant pressure is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature.
V T {T(K) = T(°C) + 273.15.,1270C = 400K , -73 oC = 200K}
V1.T2 = V2 .T1
40 x 200 = V2 x 400
V2 = 20ml
ans: D) 20.0ml
