Question

A certain amount of gas occupies 750 cc at –3°C. The gas is heated at constant pressure till its volume becomes 1 litre. What is its final temperature?

WBBSE Class X Physical Science Behaviour of Gases 02 Mark 2025

Answer

Initial Volume (V1) = 750 cc

Initial Temperature (T1) = –3°C = 270 K

Final Volume (V2) = 1000 cc

Final Temperature (T2) = ?

From Charles Law: \text{V₁}\over \text{T₁} = \text{V₂}\over \text{T₂}

T₂ = \text{V₂ × T₁}\over \text{V₁} = \text{1000 × 270}\over \text{750} = 360 K

T₂ = 360 K – 273 K = 87 K

Hence, the final temperature of the gas is 87°C.
