the conductivity of the air increases

B.

the conductivity of the air decreases

C.

conduction does not occur

D.

455.

The volume of 0.354g of helium at 273°C and 114cmhg of mercury pressure is 2667cm3. Calculate the volume

A.

2000.25 cm3

B.

200.025 cm3

C.

4003.27 cm3

D.

2010.25 cm3

Correct answer is A

m = 0.354g, T1 = 273°C = 273 + 273 = 576K
P1 = 114cmHg, V1 = 2667cm3 at STP
T2 = 273K, P2 = 76cmHg, V2 = ?

P1V1
T1
= P2V2
T1

 

V2 = 114 × 2667 × 273
76 × 576
= 2000.25cm3
