Question

Charles’s law states that the volume of a gas is directly related to the absolute temperature when there is no change in the pressure or amount of gas: (Figure 1)

V1T1=V2T2

Part A

Part complete

A sample of gas in a balloon has an initial temperature of 5 ∘C and a volume of 2010 L . If the temperature changes to 70 ∘C , and there is no change of pressure or amount of gas, what is the new volume, V2 , of the gas?

Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Part B

Part complete

What Celsius temperature, T2 , is required to change the volume of the gas sample in Part A (T1 = 5 ∘C , V1 = 2010 L ) to a volume of 4020 L ? Assume no change in pressure or the amount of gas in the balloon.

Express your answer with the appropriate units.
