A mass of neon occupies 200cm³ at 100°C. Find it's volume at 0°C, pressure remaining constant

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we can use the ideal gas law equation:

\(V_1\ T_1 = V_2\ T_2\)

Where:
V1 = initial volume = 200 cm³
T1 = initial temperature = 100°C = 373 K
V2 = final volume (to be solved)
T2 = final temperature = 0°C = 273 K

Now we can solve for V2:

\(V_2 = \frac{V_1\ T_1}{T_2} = \frac{200\ cm³ * 373\ K}{273\ K}\)
\(V_2 = \frac{74600}{273} = 273.54cm³\)

Therefore, the volume of neon at 0°C would be 273.54 cm³.
