Methane gas is contained in a gas tank of size 1 m^3 at -82.45C under 91.6 atm. If the gas is expanded to 1 atm and reaches to 27C, what will be the volume in m^3 using an ideal gas law.
initial Final
V1 = 1m3 V2 =
T1 = -82.45C =-82.45+273 = 190.55K T2 = 27C = 27+273 = 300K
P1 = 91.6atm P2 = 1atm
P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
V2 = P1V1T2/T1P2
= 91.6*1*300/190.55*1
