A 5.76 liter sample of gas at 22.00C and 748 atm pressure was heated to a final volume of 17.28 liters, with the pressure remaining constant. What was the final Celsius temperature?

Answer 1

Constant pressure = Charles Law: V1/T1 = V2/T2

V1 = initial volume = 5.76 L

T1 = initial temperature in K = 22.00C + 273.15 = 295.15K

V2 = final volume =17.28 L

T2 = final temperature = ?

Solving for T2, we have...

T2 = V2T1 / V1

Plug in the values and solve for T2. Then subtract 273.15 to obtain degrees C
