A gas has a volume of 100cm3 at 27oC. If it is heated to temperature T until a final volume of 120cm3 is attained, calculate T

  • A. 33oC
  • B. 60oC
  • C. 87oC
  • D. 114oC

Correct Answer: C. 87oC

Explanation

\(\frac {V_1}{T_1}\) = \(\frac {V_2}{T_2}\)

\(\frac {100}{27 + 273}\) = \(\frac {120}{T + 273}\)

T = 87oC
