Question

When 50.0 liters of oxygen at 20.0 oC is compressed to 40.0 liters, what must the new temperature be to maintain constant pressure?

Answer 1

234.52 K

Step-by-step explanation:

Use V₁T₂ = V₂T₁

• V₁ = 50 L
• V₂ = 40 L
• T₁ = 20°C = 293.15 K (20 + 273.15 = 293.15)

(50 L)(T₂) = (40 L)(293.15 K)

T₂ = 234.52 K
