If 200 ml of a gas at constant pressure is heated from 0°C to to 100°C, the volume is corrected by multiplying by ______?

Answer: 373/273
Explanation
  • According to Charles' Law, at constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature in Kelvin.
  • The temperature must be converted to Kelvin, so the volume correction factor is 373273frac{373}{273}, corresponding to the temperatures 100°C and 0°C.
