A fixed mass of gas occupies 92cm3 at 3°C. What will be its volume at 18C if the pressure remains constant?

A.

15.3cm3

B.

87.3cm3

C.

2.0cm3

D.

97.0cm3

Correct answer is D

\(\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}}\) = \(\frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}\)
\(T_{1}\) = 3 + 273 = 276K
\(T_{2}\) = 18 + 273 = 291K
\(V_{1}\) = \(92cm^{3}\)
\(V_{2}\) = ?
\(V_{2}\) = \(\frac{V_{1}T_{2}}{T_{1}}\)

=\(\frac{92 \times 291}{276}\) 
= \(97.0cm^{3}\)
