SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the calculation of gas volume using the Ideal Gas Law under changing temperature and pressure conditions. The initial conditions are 450 ml of helium gas at -14 degrees Celsius and 820 mmHg, with the final conditions set at 14 degrees Celsius and 960 mmHg. The correct calculation yields a final volume of 426 ml, confirmed by user Doc Al after correcting the initial formula used by the poster, which involved the ratios of temperature and pressure in Kelvin and mmHg, respectively.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Ideal Gas Law
  • Knowledge of temperature conversion to Kelvin
  • Familiarity with pressure units in mmHg
  • Basic algebra for manipulating equations
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the Ideal Gas Law and its applications in real-world scenarios
  • Learn about temperature conversions, specifically Celsius to Kelvin
  • Research pressure conversions and their significance in gas calculations
  • Explore advanced gas laws, such as the Combined Gas Law
USEFUL FOR

Students in chemistry, physics enthusiasts, and professionals in fields requiring gas law applications, such as engineering and environmental science.

2)450ml of helium gas has a temp of -14 degress celicus and a pressure of 820 mmHg. What volumne would the gas occupy if the temp. increases to 14 degrees celicus and the pressure increases to 960 mm Hg

my answer 426 ml
450(287K/259K)(820/960) is what i used

i think i got it right now Doc Al i had the items in the parenthes flopped
 
Physics news on Phys.org
That looks correct.
 
Yep, looks OK now. (Sorry I didn't see your post sooner. Thanks, turin.)
