Question

A sample of gas occupies 33 mL at -101 degrees Celsius. What volume does the sample occupy at 97degrees celsius? Plz help I have 30 minutes left on this test and I need to pass it.

Answer 1

The first thing you need to do is convert both temperature by adding 273 to them. Therefore, -101+273= 172 and 97+273=370. From there you set up a proportion 172/33=370/x. Next, divide the 172/33=5.21. Lastly, 370/5.21=71.0 or just simply 71. Your final answer will be 71mL. You're welcome. :)
