Interpret pressure, volume, and temperature data

Paper 1, Paper 2 5 marks Difficulty 4

Interpret volume temperature trend

A volume-temperature data set from a sealed gas syringe experiment is linear in kelvin. It gives \(V_1=1.9\,\text{L}\) at \(290\,\text{K}\). Calculate the expected volume at \(370\,\text{K}\). Enter the numerical result and choose the interpretation that matches the physical meaning.

Worked practice: physics data and result

Read the physical quantities first, then calculate the result and state what it means.
