Question

When a certain gas under a pressure of 4.65 106 Pa at 21.0°C is allowed to expand to 3.00 times its original volume, its final pressure is 1.06 106 Pa. What is its final temperature?

Answer 1

Answer:

-72.0°C

Explanation:

PV = nRT

Since n, number of moles, is constant:

PV / T = PV / T

(4.65×10⁶ Pa) V / (21 + 273.15) K = (1.06×10⁶ Pa) (3V) / T

T = 201.16 K

T = -72.0°C
