A gas with a volume of 3.00x102 mL at 150.0 degrees C is heated until its volume is 6.00X102 mL. What is the new temperature of the gas if the pressure remains constant during the heating process?

We use old Charles' Law, VT; units of absolute temperature must be used, 0 C=273.15K.

Explanation:

We use old Charles' Law, which states that at constant pressure, and a given quantity of gas, volume varies with temperature.........i.e. VT.

And thus V=kT. And if we solve for k, we gets the relationship....

V1T1=V2T2 for a given quantity of gas.......

T2=V2×T1V1, absolute temperature is used......

=600mL×423.15K300mL=846.3K. Can you convert this temperature to C?
