Question

A gas sample at a certain temperature has an initial volume of 5.345 L. What is the initial temperature of the sample if the volume and the temperature are changed to 4.345 L and 898.0 K, respectively? Assume that the pressure and the amount of the gas remain constant.

Answer 1

1104 K

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use Charles' Law:
`(V_1)/(T_1) = (V_2)/(T_2)`

Plugging in the numbers gives us the initial temperature to be 1104 K
