Question

A student measure the volume of a given amount of air in a capped-off syringe as 5 mL at room temperature. The student also measured the volume of air in the syringe in an ice-water bath and a hotwater bath. Which of the following statement would summarize the results?

The volume decreased in the ice-water bath and inceased in the hot water bath relative to the volume at room temperature.

The volume was constant in all three conditions.

The volume decreased in the ice-water bath but did not change in the hot water bath relative to the volume at room temperature.

The volume increased in the ice-water bath and decreased in the hot water bath relative to the volume at room temperature.

The volume decreased in the ice-water bath and inceased in the hot water bath relative to the volume at room temperature.

The volume was constant in all three conditions.

The volume decreased in the ice-water bath but did not change in the hot water bath relative to the volume at room temperature.

The volume increased in the ice-water bath and decreased in the hot water bath relative to the volume at room temperature.

Explanation / Answer

PV=nRT
Room temperature> ice temperature
Room temperature< hot water bath temperature
Ans:The volume decreased in the ice-water bath and inceased in the hot water bath relative to the volume at room temperature.
