Law of Gay-Lussac
Tutorial 1
A given mass of neon occupies a volume of $ 100.0\; cm^3 $ at $ 0\;^oC $.
What will be its volume at $100\;^oC $, the pressure remaining constant?
Solution (Click):
Conversion to $K$: ..........$0\;^oC=273.15\;K$
$100.0\;^oC=373.15\;K$
Law of Gay-Lussac: ..........$\frac{V_1 }{T_1}=\frac{V_2 }{T_2}$
Calculation: ..........$V_1=\frac{T_1\cdot V_2}{T_2}$ = $\frac{373.15\cdot 100.0}{273.15} = 136.6\;cm^3$
