Answer:
The volume is increased.
Explanation:
According to Charles' Law, " at constant pressure the volume and temperature of the gas are directly proportional to each other". Mathematically this law is presented as;
V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂ -----(1)
In statement the data given is,
T₁ = 10 °C = 283.15 K ∴ K = 273.15 + °C
T₂ = 20 °C = 293.15 K
So, it is clear that the temperature is being increased hence, we will find an increase in volume. Let us assume that the starting volume is 100 L, so,
V₁ = 100 L
V₂ = Unknown
Now, we will arrange equation 1 for V₂ as,
V₂ = V₁ × T₂ / T₁
Putting values,
V₂ = 100 L × 293.15 K / 283.15 K
V₂ = 103.52 L
Hence, it is proved that by increasing temperature from 10 °C to 20 °C resulted in the increase of Volume from 100 L to 103.52 L.
