Chapter 5, Problem 5.48QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Change in volume of the nitrogen gas has to be determined when the temperature is raised from $250\text{K}$ to $\text{500}\text{K}$ if the sample of nitrogen at has a volume of $\text{2}\text{.00}\text{L}$.

Concept Introduction:

Charles’s law states that the volume of gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature if the pressure and number of moles of the gas are kept as constant.  This can be expressed as,

    $\frac{V}{T}=k_c$

During temperature change, the initial and final can be related as,

    $\frac{V_i}{T_i}=\frac{V_f}{T_f}$
