Q77 / 160 · JIPMER 2006 · Chemistry

A certain sample of gas has a volume of 0.2 L measured at 1 atm pressure and $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. At the same pressure but $273^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, its volume will be :

  • Correct answer
    A
    0.4 L
  • B
    0.8 L
  • C
    27.8 L
  • D
    55.6 L

Solution

According to Charles' law $\begin{array}{rlrl}\frac{V_1}{T_1} & =\frac{V_2}{T_2} \\ & \frac{0.2}{273} & =\frac{V_2}{476} \\ \therefore \quad & V_2 & =0.4 \mathrm{~L}\end{array}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
