Question

Exercise 10.121 Constants I Periodic Table Part A A natural gas storage tank is a cylinder with a moveable top whose volume can change only as its height changes. Its radius remains fixed. The height of the cylinder is 22.8 m on a day when the temperature is 22 °C. The next day the height of the cylinder increases to 23.4 m as the gas expands because of a heat wave. Find the temperature, assuming that the pressure and amount of gas in the storage tank have not changed Express your answer using two significant figures oC Submit Provide Feedback

Explanation / Answer

initial volume = 22.8 m = V1

final volume = 23.4 m = V2

initial temperature = T1 = 22 +273 = 295 K

final temperature = T2 = ?

V1 / T1 = V2 / T2

22.8 / 295 = 23.4 / T2

T2 = 303 K

T2 = 29.8 oC

T2 = 30.oC
