20 mL of a gas at 200K is heated until the new volume is 55 mL. What is the final temperature of the gas? answer options:
4.0 K
5.5 K
400K
550 K

550 K

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Original Volume, V1 = 20mL

Original Temperature, T1 = 200K

New Temperature, V2 = 55mL

To find new temperature T2, we would use Charles' law.

Charles states that when the pressure of an ideal gas is kept constant, the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.

Mathematically, Charles is given by;

Making T2 the subject of formula, we have;

Substituting into the equation;

Therefore, the new temperature is 550K.

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.

solute : a solute is a substance that is dissolved in another substance is known as a solvent. it is mixed with a special mixture know as homogeneous mixture.

solvent: a solvent is a substance that dissolved a solute, which results in a solution is known as solvent.
