Answer:

V₂ = 5.97 L

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Initial temperature = 9°C (9+273 = 282 K)

Initial volume of gas = 6.17 L

Final volume of gas = ?

Final temperature = standard = 273 K

Solution:

Formula:

The Charles Law will be apply to solve the given problem.

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

V₂ = V₁T₂/T₁

V₂ = 6.17 L × 273K / 282 k

V₂ = 1684.41 L.K / 282 K

V₂ = 5.97 L
