Chapter 8.6, Problem 8.11P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The temperature required to increase the volume of chlorine gas to $\text{1}\text{L}$ and to decrease the volume to $0.20\text{L}$ should be determined if the initial volume is $\text{0}\text{.30}\text{L}\text{at}\text{273}\text{K}$.

Concept Introduction:

Charles law: States that volume is directly proportional to temperature when the gas is held at constant pressure and number of molecules.

$\begin{array}{l}\text{V}\propto \text{T}\\ \text{V}\text{=}\text{constant}\text{×}\text{T}\\ \frac{{\text{V}}_{\text{1}}}{{\text{T}}_{\text{1}}}\text{=}\frac{{\text{V}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{T}}_{\text{2}}}\end{array}$
