At 0°C and 760 mm Hg pressure, a gas occupies a volume of 100 cm3. The Kelvin temperature (Absolute temperature) of the gas is increased by one-fifth while the pressure is increased one and a half times. Calculate the final volume of the gas.

Answer

Initial conditions [S.T.P.] :

P1 = Initial pressure of the gas = 760 mm Hg
V1 = Initial volume of the gas = 100 cm3
T1 = Initial temperature of the gas = 0°C = 273 K

Final conditions:

P2 (Final pressure) = increased one and a half times of P1
= (1 + 12\dfrac{1}{2}) of 760
= 32\dfrac{3}{2} x 760
= 3 x 380
= 1140
V2 (Final volume) = ?
T2 (Final temperature) = increased by one-fifth of 273 K = 1 + 15\dfrac{1}{5} of 273
= 65\dfrac{6}{5} x 273 = 16385\dfrac{1638}{5}

By Gas Law:

P1×V1T1=P2×V2T2\dfrac{\text{P}1\times\text{V}1}{\text{T}1} = \dfrac{\text{P}2\times\text{V}2}{\text{T}2}

Substituting the values :

760×100273=1140×V216385760×100273=5×1140×V21638V2=760×100×1638273×5×1140V2=80cc\dfrac{760 \times 100 }{273} = \dfrac{1140 \times \text{V}2}{\dfrac{1638}{5}} \\[1em] \dfrac{760 \times 100 }{273} = \dfrac{5 \times 1140 \times \text{V}2}{1638} \\[1em] \text{V}2 = \dfrac{760 \times 100 \times 1638}{273 \times 5 \times 1140} \\[1em] \text{V}2 = 80 \text{cc}

Therefore, final volume of the gas = 80 cc
