Answer:
1 : 2
Explanation:
From the question given, we obtained the following information:
T1 = 287°C = 287 +273 = 560K
T1 = 587°C = 587 +273 =860K
V1 = V
V2 =?
V1 /T1 = V2 /T2
V/560 = V2/860
Cross multiply
V2 x 560 = 860 x V
Divide both side by 560
V2 = (860 x V) / 560
V2 = 1.54V = 2V
The ratio of initial to final volume =
V1 : V2
= V : 2V
= 1 : 2
