Question

The problem: The gas inside of a flexible container at 298.2 K has apressure of 0.25 atm. The size of the container starts out holding3 L of gas. When it is heated to 303.2 K its pressure is alsoincreases to 0.27 atm. What happened to the volume of thecontainer? I am supposed to solve for the 1st and 2nd (starting andending) pressure, volume, and temperature. PLEASE HELP EXPLAIN THE PROCESS AND THE LAWS THATAPPLY!!!

Explanation / Answer

Assume that by flexible, it means that it's just a weightlesssuper-elastic baloon. Assume gas is ideal. PV = nRT 3 = nR*298.2/.25 nR = .75/298.2 V2 = (.75/298.2)*303.2 solve for V2
