assuming the gas is ideal, we can use the formula:
(V1)/(T1) = (V2)/(T2)
where
V1 = initial volume
T1 = initial temperature (units in Kelvin)
V2 = final volume
T2 = final temperature (units in Kelvin)
since the given temp are in degree Celsius, we first convert it to Kelvin by adding 273:
T1 = -23 + 273 = 250 K
T2 = 23 + 273 = 296 K
substituting to the formula:
500 / 250 = (V2) / 296
V2 = 592 mL
hope this helps~ :)
A gas measures 500 ml at a temperature of -23 C. Find its volume at 23 C.
