Question

5. Given a container of air with an initial volume of 39 L and a temperature of
42.8 °C, calculate the temperature if the volume is changed to 35 L?

Answer 1

Answer:

283.41 K or 10.41 °C

Explanation:

From the Ideal Gas Equation :

• V₁T₂ = V₂T₁

Here :

• V₁ = 39 L
• T₁ = 42.8 °C = 315.8 K
• V₂ = 35 L

Solving :

• T₂ = V₂T₁ / V₁
• T₂ = 35 x 315.8 / 39
• T₂ = 11053/39
• T₂ = 283.41 K or 10.41 °C
