The cubic expansivity of a certain gas at constant pressure is \(\frac{1}{273} k^{-1}\). If a given mass of the gas is held at constant pressure and its volume at 0oC is 273m3, determine the volume of the gas at 273oC.

  • A. 273m3
  • B. 546m3
  • C. 8193
  • D. 10923

Correct Answer: B. 546m3

Explanation

\(V_2 = V_1(B\theta + 1) = 273 (\frac{1}{373} \times 273 + 1)\)

= 546m3
