  • Charles's Law: Calculating Gas Volume Change with Temperature
    We can use Charles's law to calculate the new volume.

    Charles's law states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature, when pressure is held constant.

    This can be expressed as the equation:

    V = k * T

    Where V is the volume, T is the temperature, and k is a constant.

    We can rearrange this equation to find the new volume:

    V₂ = V₁ * T₂/T₁

    Where V₁ and T₁ are the original volume and temperature, and V₂ and T₂ are the new volume and temperature.

    Plugging in our values, we get:

    V₂ = 4.5 L * (29°C + 273.15) / (14°C + 273.15)

    = 4.89 L

    Therefore, the new volume of the gas is 4.89 L.
