The volume of an ideal gas at a pressure of 77 cmHg and a temperature of 60 ^\circC is 240 cm\(^3\). If the temperature and pressure are increased to 98oC
and 81cmHg respectively, calculate the new volume of the gas
A
411.5cm3
B
267.1cm3
C
254.2cm3
D
112.7cm3
Verified Correct Answer: C.
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
V2 = \(\frac{P_1V_1T_2}{P_2T_1} = \frac{77 \times 240 \times 371}{81 \times 333}\)
= 254.2cm3
