A sample of nitrogen gas, (N2), occupies 45.0 mL at 27.00∘C and 80.0 kPa. What will be the pressure if the gas is cooled to −73.00∘C at constant volume?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The new pressure is 53.3 kPa

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by this law. when the volume remains constant, pressure changes directly proportional as the Aboslute T° is modified.

T° increase → Pressure increase

T° decrease → Pressure decrease

In this case, temperature was really decreased. So the pressure must be lower.

P₁ / T₁ = P₂ / T₂

80 kPa / 300K =  P₂/200K

(80 kPa / 300K) . 200 K = P₂ →  53.3 kPa
