A sample of a gas has an initial volume of 16.8 L and an initial temperature of 50°C. The volume of the gas increases to 33.6 L if its temperature is increased to 100° C.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Charles's Law, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature in Kelvin. The temperature increase from 50°C to 100°C does not double the Kelvin temperature, so the volume should not double.
