Answer:
The volume the gas will occupy is 60.39mL
Explanation:
The gas law to be followed here is the Charles' law which states that the volume of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to its temperature (in Kevin) provided that pressure remains constant. That is V∝T.
Equation thereof = V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂
where V₁ is the initial volume (56.05mL)
V₂ is the final volume (unknown)
T₁ is the initial temperature (21.5°C + 273 = 294.5K)
T₂ is the final temperature (44.3°C + 273 = 317.3K)
Thus,
56.05/294.5 = V₂/317.3
V₂ = 56.05 x 317.3/294.5
V₂ = 60.39mL
