A volume of helium gas has a temperature of 10°C.The same gas twice as hot has a temperature of

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The temperature of the helium gas is given in Celsius scale. To convert it to Kelvin scale (which is necessary to use in temperature calculations), we add 273.15 to it.

Therefore, the initial temperature of the helium gas in Kelvin scale is: 
10 + 273.15 = 283.15 K

When the same gas is twice as hot, its temperature in Kelvin scale would be: 
2 * 283.15 = 566.30 K

To convert it back to Celsius scale, we subtract 273.15:

566.30 - 273.15 = 293.15°C (rounded to nearest whole number)

Therefore, the answer is D) 293°C.
