Question

A gas syringe contains 42.3 milliliters of a gas at 371 K. Determine the volume that the gas will occupy if the temperature is decreased to 254 K.

Answer 1

28.82 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

This is about gases laws, in this case about Charles Gay Lussac.

At constant pressure the volume is proportional to the T°.

V₁ / T₁ = V₂ /T₂

42.1 mL / 371K = V₂ /254K

(42.1 mL / 371K) . 254K

V₂ = 28.82 mL

In conclussion:

As T° was decreased, the volume also decreased too.
