Answer:
h. 37.5 cm³
Explanation:
- We can use the general law of ideal gas: <em>PV = nRT.
</em>
where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.
V is the volume of the gas in L.
n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.
R is the general gas constant,
T is the temperature of the gas in K.
- If n and P are constant, and have different values of V and T:
<em>(V₁T₂) = (V₂T₁). </em>
V₁ = 50.0 cm³, T₁ = -73°C + 273 = 200 K,
V₂ = ??? cm³, T₂ = -123°C + 273 = 150 K.
∴ V₂ = (V₁T₂)/(T₁) = (50.0 cm³)(150 K)/(200 K) = 37.5 cm³.
- <em>So, the right choice is: </em><em>h. 37.5 cm³.</em>
