Question

At a temperature of 274k, the gas in a cylinder has a volume of 4.0 liters. If the volume of the gas decrease to 2.0 liters, what mus the temperature be for the gas pressure to remain constant?

Answer 1

The temperature will be 137 K for the gas pressure to remain constant

Step-by-step explanation:

If the gas pressure keeps on constant, volume of the gas will be modified according to temperature.

V1 / T1 = V2 / T2

4L / 274K = 2L / T2

(4L / 274K) . T2 = 2L

T2 = 2L . (274K / 4L)

T2 = 137K
