A sample of a gas in a rigid cylinder with a movable piston has a volume of 11.2 liters at STP. What is the volume of this gas at 202.6 kPa and 300. K?
a) 5.10 L b) 6.15 L
c)22.4 L d) 24.6 L

Respuesta :

Given that the volume of  cylinder at STP = 11.2 L

Standard temperature = 273 K

Standard pressure = 1 atm

Calculating the volume of gas at 202.6 kPa and 300. K:

Applying the combined gas law,

[tex]\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}} =\frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}[/tex]

[tex]P_{1} =1 atm[/tex]

[tex]V_{1}=11.2 L[/tex]

[tex]T_{1}=273K[/tex]  

[tex]P_{2}[/tex]= [tex]202.6 kPa*\frac{1 atm}{101.325 kPa} =2 atm[/tex]  

[tex]V_{2}= ? [/tex]

[tex]T_{2}=300. K[/tex]  

Plugging in the values and calculating final volume:

[tex]\frac{(1atm)(11.2L)}{(273 K)} =\frac{(2atm)(V_{2})}{(300K)}[/tex]

[tex]V_{2}=6.15 L[/tex]

Therefore the correct answer will be, b) 6.15 L


The the volume of this gas at 202.6 kPa and 300 K is 6.15 L.

The combined gas law,

[tex]\rm \bold{ \frac{P_1 V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2 V2}{T_2} }[/tex]

Where,

P1 = 1atm             P2 = 202.6 kPa = 2atm

V1 = 11.2 L            V2 = ?

T1 = 273 K            T2 = 300 K

Put the value in formula we get,

[tex]\rm\bold{ V_2 = 6.15 L}[/tex]

Hence, we can conclude that, The the volume of this gas at 202.6 kPa and 300 K is 6.15 L.
