A gas at 155 kPa and 25°C has an initial volume of 1.00 L. The pressure of the gas increases to 605 kPa as the temperature is raised to 125°C. What is the new volume? I am getting an answer smaller than the original volume, does that make sense?
Not quite Chris! The temperatures must be absolute; T1 = 273+25 and T2 = 273+125, so the final volume will be smaller than the initial volume because the pressure increses far more than tha temperature.
