Answer:
T2 = 361.15 K
Explanation:
Since pressure is held constant, then we'll use Charles law
Charles law gives that V1/T1 = V2/T2
We are given;
Initial temperature; T1 = 313 K
Initial height; h1 = 23.4 cm
Final height; h2 = 27.0 cm
Now, formula for volume of a cylinder is V = πr²h
V1 = πr²h1 and V2 = πr²h2
Now, since V1/T1 = V2/T2 and we are looking for T2, let's make T2 subject;
T2 = (V2 × T1)/V1
Plugging in the relevant values gives;
T2 = (πr²h2 × 313)/πr²h1
πr² will cancel out to give;
T2 = (h2 × 313)/h1
Putting 23.4 for h1 and 27 for h2 gives;
T2 = (27 × 313)/23.4
T2 = 361.15 K
