The new temperature (in °C) of the gas, given the data is –148.20 °C
<h3>Data obtained from the question </h3>
- Initial temperature (T₁) = 149.05 °C = 149.05 + 273 = 422.05 K
- Initial pressure (P₁) = 349.84 KPa
- Volume = constant
- New pressure (P₂) = 103.45 KPa
- New temperature (T₂) =?
<h3>How to determine the new temperature </h3>
The new temperature of the gas can be obtained by using the combined gas equation as illustrated below:
P₁V₁ / T₁ = P₂V₂ / T₂
Since the volume is constant, we have:
P₁ / T₁ = P₂ / T₂
349.84 / 422.05 = 103.45 / T₂
Cross multiply
349.84 × T₂ = 103.45 × 422.05
Divide both side by 349.84
T₂ = (103.45 × 422.05) / 349.84
T₂ = 124.80 K
Subtract 273 from 124.80 K to express in degree celsius
T₂ = 124.80 – 273
T₂ = –148.20 °C
