What is the new volume of a gas when its temperature changes from 27°C to 30°C?

To find the new volume of the gas when the temperature changes, we can use Charles’s Law, which states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature when pressure is constant. The formula for Charles’s Law is:

V1 / T1 = V2 / T2

Where:

  • V1 is the initial volume (605 liters)
  • T1 is the initial temperature in Kelvin (27°C = 273 + 27 = 300 K)
  • V2 is the new volume
  • T2 is the new temperature in Kelvin (30°C = 273 + 30 = 303 K)

Now, substituting the known values into the formula:

605 / 300 = V2 / 303

To solve for V2, we can cross-multiply:

605 * 303 = V2 * 300

This results in:

183615 = V2 * 300

Now, divide both sides by 300 to find V2:

V2 = 183615 / 300

This gives:

V2 ≈ 612.05 liters

The options provided (672 l, 545 l, 672 l, 5450 l) do not match the calculated value. Therefore, it seems there might be an error in the options given. Based on the calculations from the initial data, the volume changes to approximately 612 liters.
