Answer: 600°C
Explanation:
This reaction is explained by Charles' law as the pressure is constant.
From the question, we obtained:
V1 = 67mL
T1 = 18°C = 18 +273 = 291K
V2 = 3V1 ( Vol is tripled) = 3x67 = 201mL
T2 =?
Applying the Charles' law,
V1 /T1 = V2 /T2
67/291 = 201 / T2
Cross multiply to express in linear form.
67xT2 = 291x201
Divide both side by 67, we have:
T2 = (291x201) /67
T2 = 873K
Converting to Celsius temperature, we have
T°C = K — 273
T°C = 873 — 273 = 600°C
