Chapter 5, Problem 5.46QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The volume of gas at temperature of ${\text{20}}^{\circ }\text{C}$ and pressure of 760 mmHg has to be calculated

Concept Introduction:

Charles’s Law:

Boyle’s law states that “at a constant pressure (P), the volume (V) occupied by any sample of gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature (T)’’

$\text{ V}\alpha \text{ T (at constant P)}$

For a sample of gas supposing a change in temperature, Charles’s law can be written as

$\frac{V_f}{T_f}=\frac{V_i}{T_i}\text{ (at constant P)}$

On rearranging, we get

$V_f=V_i\times \frac{T_f}{T_i}\text{ (at constant P)}$

Where,

$T_{i}and{\text{ T}}_f$ are initial temperature  and final temperature respectively

$V_{i}and{\text{ V}}_f$ are initial volume and final volume respectively
