Question 5
Gas Laws9.0 dm3 of a gas at s.t.p was subjected by means of a movable piston to two times the original pressure with the temperature being now kept at 364 K. What is the volume of the gas in dm3 at this pressure?
- A.2.0
- B.4.5
- C.6.0
- D.8.3
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: C (6.0)
Explanation
V2 = V1 × (P1/P2) × (T2/T1) = 9.0 × ½ × 364/273 = 6.0 dm3.
