Question

A sample of neon gas at 102 °C and a volume of 4 liters is cooled to -98 °C. What is the new volume

Answer 1

Answer: V= 1.87 L

Explanation: Use Charles Law to solve for the new volume.

V1/T1 = V2/T2 where temperature is in Kelvin. So convert temperature to Kelvin.

4 L ( 175 K ) / 375 K

= 1.87 L

Cancel out both units of K.
