This seems like such a simple question but I can't seem to calculate the right answer.... can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.
At 1 atm and 25ºC a gas occupies 400 mL. What will the temperature be if the gas expands to 1200 mL at constant pressure?
Answer: 621ºC
I thought the answer would be 894K, because
--> V1/T1 = V2/T2
--> (400 mL)/(25 + 273K) = (1200 mL)/T2
--> (400)T2 = (1200)(298)
--> T2 = (1200)(298)/400 = 894K
