Question

a sample container of carbon monoxide occupies a volume of 422 ml at a pressure of 785 torr and a temperature of 242 k. what would its temperature be if the volume were changed to 225 ml at a pressure of 785 torr?

Answer 1

The temperature if the volume were changed to 225 ml at a pressure of 785 torrs is 129K.

Pressure is constant.

so

V1 /  T1 = v2 / T2

so

T2 = V2 T1 / V1

T2 =  225 x 242 / 422

T2 =  129K

What is temperature?

Temperature is a measure of hotness or coldness expressed on several scales, including Fahrenheit and Celsius. Temperature indicates the direction in which thermal energy spontaneously flows - ie, from a hotter body (one at a higher temperature) to a colder body (another at a lower temperature).

The Fahrenheit temperature scale (°F) is used in the United States and some other English-speaking countries. The Celsius temperature scale (°C) is standard in almost all countries that have adopted the metric system and  is widely used in science. The Kelvin (K) scale, the absolute temperature scale is recognized as the international standard for scientific temperature measurement.
