Question
What exact volume of air will be expelled from an open vessel of $300\text{ cm}^3$ capacity when it is heated from $27^\circ\text{C}$ to $37^\circ\text{C}$ at the same constant pressure?
Answer: C
💡 Solution & Explanation
Since pressure is constant, $V_1/T_1 = V_2/T_2$. $300/300 = V_2/310 \implies V_2 = 310\text{ cm}^3$. The volume expelled is the final expanded volume minus the container's physical volume: $310 - 300 = 10\text{ cm}^3$.
