A certain mass of a gas occupies a volume of \(2 \mathrm{dm}^{3}\) at STP. At what temperature the volume of gas becomes double, keeping the pressure constant?

  1. A \(540.15^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  2. B \(400.15^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  3. C \(546 \cdot 15^{\circ}\) C
  4. D \(273.15^{\circ}\) C
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(273.15^{\circ}\) C

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(
\begin{array}{l}
\mathrm{V}_{1}=2 \mathrm{dm}^{3}, \mathrm{~T}_{1}=273.15 \mathrm{~K} \\
\mathrm{~V}_{2}=4 \mathrm{dm}^{3}, \mathrm{~T}_{2}=?
\end{array}
\)
According to Charle's law,
\(
\begin{array}{l}
\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}} \quad \therefore T_{2}=\frac{V_{2} \times T_{1}}{V_{1}} \\
\therefore T_{2}=\frac{4 \times 273.15}{2}=546.3 \mathrm{~K}
\end{array}
\)
Now, \(\mathrm{T} \mathrm{k}=\mathrm{t}^{\circ} \mathrm{C}+273.15\)
\(\therefore \mathrm{t}^{\circ} \mathrm{C}=\mathrm{T} \mathrm{k}-273.15\)
\(\therefore \mathrm{t}^{\circ} \mathrm{C}=546.3-273.15=273.15^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
