Question

A sample of SO2 gas has a volume of 2.36 L at a temperature of 27°C. At what temperature will the gas have a volume of 1.45 L?

Answer 1

New temperature T2 = 16.59°C Approx

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Old volume V1 = 2.36 L

Old temperature T1 = 27°C

New volume V2 = 1.45 L

Find:

New temperature T2

Computation:

Using Charles's Law;

V1T2 = V2T1

(2.36)(T2) = (1.45)(27)

New temperature T2 = 16.59°C Approx
