Answer to Question #145513 in General Chemistry for Hailey

Question

Carbon dioxide produced by yeast in bread dough causes the dough to rise before baking during the baking process The carbon dioxide expands predict the final volume of 0.1 L carbon dioxide gas trapped in the bread dough as it’s heat it from 25°C to 98°C

Answer 1

$\begin{aligned} V_1 &= 0.1L\\ T_1 &= 25°C = (273 + 25)\ 298K\\ T_2 &= 98°C = (273 + 98)\ 371K\\ V_2 &=\ ? \end{aligned}$

According to Charles's law,

$\dfrac{V_1}{T_1} = \dfrac{V_2}{T_2}$

$\dfrac{0.1}{298} = \dfrac{V_2}{395}$

$V_2 = \dfrac{395×0.1}{298}$

$V_2 = 0.133L$

$\therefore$ The final volume of the carbon dioxide gas is 0.133L.
