Answer:
4.92L
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Initial pressure = 891mmHg
Initial temperature = 84°C = 84 + 273 = 357k
Initial volume = 5.61L
New temperature = 40°C = 273 + 40 = 313k
Unknown:
New volume = ?
Solution:
Since we are dealing with constant pressure condition, we apply charles's law.
It states that the volume of a fixed mass of gas varies directly as its absolute temperature if the pressure is constant.
Mathematically ;
[tex]\frac{V1}{T1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{V2}{T2}[/tex]
V1 is the initial volume V2 is the new volume
T1 is the initial temperature T2 is the new temperature
[tex]\frac{5.61}{357}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{V2}{313}[/tex]
V2 = 4.92L
