A sample of nitrogen gas occupies 1.83 L at 27 °C and 1.000 atm of pressure. What will

the volume be at -100 °C and the same pressure?​

Answer:

1.06L = V₂

Step-by-step explanation:

Charle's Law states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature when pressure remains constant.

The equation is:

V₁T₂ = V₂T₁

Where V is volume and T absolute temperature of 1, initial state and 2, final state of the gas.

V₁ = 1.83L

T₂ = -100°C + 273.15 = 173.15K

V₂ = ?

T₁ = 27°C + 273.15 = 300.15K

V₁T₂ = V₂T₁

1.83L*173.15K = V₂*300.15K

1.06L = V₂
