Question

a gas takes up a volume of 17 liters, has a pressure of 2.3 atm, and a temperature of 299 K. what is the final temperature of the gas if the final volume is 14 liters and the pressure is constant

Answer 1

when pressure is constant we can use the charles law:

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

in this case we need to solve for T2 and use the data provided in the text:

$T_2=\frac{V_2T_1}{V_1}=\frac{14L\cdot299K}{17L}=246K$

So the final Temperature is 246K
