Answer: 0.023 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Original volume of gas (V1) = 25mL

[convert 25mL to liters

If 1000ml = 1L

25ml = 25/1000 = 0.025L]

Original temperature of gas (T1) = 22°C

[Convert 22°C to Kelvin by adding 273

22°C + 273 = 295K]

New volume of gas (V2) = ?

New temperature of gas (T2) = 0°C

[Convert 0°C to Kelvin by adding 273

0°C + 273 = 273K]

Since volume and temperature are given while pressure is held constant, apply the formula for Charle's law

V1/T1 = V2/T2

0.025L/295K = V2/273K

To get the value of V2, cross multiply

0.025L x 273K = 295K x V2

6.825L•K = 295K•V2

Divide both sides by 295K

6.825L•K/295K = 295K•V2/295K

0.023 L = V2

Thus, the new volume of the gas will be 0.023 litres
