A perfect gas at 27°C is heated at constant pressure to 327°C. If original volume of gas at 27°C is V then volume at 327°C is
Correct Answer :
2V
Solution :
The correct option/answer is 2V.
To understand why this is correct, we can apply Charles's Law for a perfect (ideal) gas. Charles's Law states that for a given mass of an ideal gas at constant pressure, the volume is directly proportional to its absolute temperature (measured in Kelvin).
Mathematically, this relation is expressed as:
where:
• V1 is the initial volume of the gas, which is given as V.
• T1 is the initial absolute temperature.
• V2 is the final volume of the gas at 327°C.
• T2 is the final absolute temperature.
First, we must convert the temperatures from degrees Celsius (°C) to Kelvin (K) using the relation:
Let's calculate the initial absolute temperature, T1:
Next, calculate the final absolute temperature, T2:
Now, substitute the values of V1 = V, T1 = 300 K, and T2 = 600 K into Charles's Law:
Solve for the final volume V2:
Therefore, the volume of the gas at 327°C is 2V.
