Answer to Question #337084 in General Chemistry for Cosmo

Question

A sample of nitrogen occupies a volume of 250 mL at 25 C. What volume will it occupy at 0C?

Answer 1

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

V₂ = (V₁/T₁) * T₂

V₁ = 250 mL = 0.25 L, T₁ = 25°C = 298.15 K, T2 = 0°C = 273.15 K

V₂ = (0.25 L / 298.15 K) * 273.15 K = 0,229 L = 229  mL
