Answer

$0.892\ m^3$

Work Step by Step

Given; Temperature of ideal gas is $T_1 =10^{\circ} C $ We then convert given temperature from degrees to kelvins i,e $10^{\circ} C+273 = 283 K $ Pressure $P_1 = 100\ kpa = 100\times 10^3 pa = 10^5 pa$ Volume $V_1 =2.50\ m^3$ Pressure raised to $P_2 =300\ kpa =300\times 10^3 pa $ Temperature increases to $T_2 = 30^{\circ} C =30^{\circ} C+273 =303 K$ Let the volume occupied by gas be $V_2$ From ideal gas law we have the formula; $PV = nRT$ From this, we find that $PV\propto T$. So, we can write; $\frac{P_1 V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$ $V_2 =\frac{P_1V_1T_2}{P_2T_1}$ $V_2 =\frac{(10^5)(2.5)(303)}{(300\times 10^3)(283)}$ $V_2 =0.892\ m^3$
