Question

A 25.0 mL sample of gas is enclosed in a gas-tight syringe at 22oC. If the syringe is immersed in an ice bath, what is the new gas volume?
I have gathered that;
V1=25.0mL
T1=22C +273=295K
V2=???
T2=273?
I need to know if my information is correct.

Answer 1

what did you have in mind

Answer 2

Well I'm trying to use the Charles Law. However I am a little confused about what the second temperature will be. It says that the syringe is put in a ice bucket, then I have to find the new volume. I took a guess at 273K.

Answer 3

and how did it turned out

Answer 4

I ended up getting 23.1355. (Now I will round) However, I am given options for the answer and this doesn't match any of them. I don't know what I'm missing from the problem.

Answer 5

Answer 15

Thanks

Answer 16

@grimsnightmare how does your equation look? What is the general form of Charles' Law?

Answer 17

sorry
the general formula is V1/T1=V2/T2
However I changed it to: V2 = T2*V1/T1

Answer 18

your rearrangement is correct, I don't know why you'd get an answer different than one of the options, unless there's a mistake in the problem itself. I get 23.15mL as well, so I don't know what to tell you

Answer 19

I figures out the problem. So if you were to work the problem by the original formula writing like this;
25.0 / 295 it equals 0.0847
You would round this right?
My teacher didn't round to .085 so the problem was coming out all wrong.
