Chlorine gas occupies a volume of 25 mL at 300 K. What volume will it occupy at 600 K? a. 7200 mL b. 12.5 mL c. 100 mL d. 50 mL

Hey there!

For this we will use the combined gas law:

[tex]\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}[/tex]

We are only using volume and temperature, however, so we can remove pressure.

[tex]\frac{V_{1} }{T_{1} } = \frac{V_{2} }{T_{2} }[/tex]

V₁ = 25 mL

T₁ = 300 K

T₂ = 600 K

Solving for V₂, plug in values:

[tex]\frac{23mL}{300K} = \frac{V_{2}}{600K}[/tex]

Multiply both sides of the equation by 600K.

46 mL = V₂

So, the chlorine gas will occupy a volume of 46 mL at 600 K.

Hope this helps!
