Answer:

T₂ = 150.03 K

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume of gas = 2.0 L

Initial temperature = 353 k

Final temperature = ?

Final volume = 0.85 L

Solution:

The given problem will be solve through the Charles Law.

According to this law, The volume of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant number of moles and pressure.

Mathematical expression:

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

V₂ = Final volume

T₂ = Final temperature

Now we will put the values in formula.

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

T₂ = V₂ T₁ /V₁

T₂ = 0.85 L × 353 K / 2.0 L

T₂ = 300.05 L.K / 2.0 L

T₂ = 150.03 K
