Kinetic Theory Of Gases Question 102

Question: The volume of a gas at $ 20{}^\circ C $ is $ 200ml. $ If the temperature is reduced to $ -20{}^\circ C $ at constant pressure, its volume will be

Options:

A) $ 172.6ml $

B) $ 17.26ml $

C) $ 192.7ml $

D) $ 19.27ml $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] $ V\propto T $

Therefore $ \frac{V _{1}}{V _{2}}=\frac{T _{1}}{T _{2}} $

Therefore $ \frac{200}{V _{2}}=\frac{(273+20)}{(273-20)}=\frac{293}{253} $

Therefore $ V _{2}=\frac{200\times 253}{293}=172.6,ml $
