Answer:

The answer is 0,351 Liters

Step-by-step explanation:

The combined gas law says that there is a relationship between the volume, temperature, and pressure of a gas. And that pressure is inversely proportional to temperature and volume, so if one of these 3 changes, the others will change too.

The combined gas law equation is =

  • ( P1 * V1 ) / T1 = ( P2 * V2 ) / T2

Being 1 the initial variables and 2 the final variables.

So the equation is solved to find the final volume:

  • V2 = ( P1 * V1 * T2 ) / ( P2 * T1 )
  • V1 = 1.6L
  • T1 = 273.15K
  • P1 = 1 atm
  • T2 = 60K
  • P2 = 1 atm

- Then, we put each variable its value to find the answer

  • V2 = ( 1 atm * 1.6L * 60K ) / ( 1 atm * 273.15K )

- And, you give the answer:

The final volume will be 0,351 Liters
