Question

When the temperature is 23C, a bottle of gas has a pressure of 5.5atm.Assuming that the volume of the balloon remains constant, what will the

pressure be if the temperature is decreased to 18C?

Answer 1

use the formula pressure 1 ÷ temperature 1 = pressure 2 ÷ temp 2

so your equation would look like this,

p2= p1(T2)÷ T1

so p2 =5.5(18)÷23

so it would be 4.304347826
