Answer to Question #112975 in General Chemistry for Alexis Valdez

Question

If I have 35.0 L of gas at room temperature (22.5o
C) and I compress it so that the
final volume is 12.0 L, what is the final temperature of the gas if the pressure is
constant?

Answer 1

p₁V₁/T₁=p₂V₂/T₂;

p-const, so

V₁/T₁=V₂/T₂;

T₂=T₁*V₂/V₁=22.5*12/35=7.7=295.5*12/35=-171.68 ^oC
