Answer:
The initial temperature is 300 K (The temperature doesn't change)
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Initial volume = 21L
Final volume = 14L
Initial pressure = 100 kPa = 0.986923 atm
Final pressure = 150 kPa = 1.48038 atm
The final temperature = 300K
Step 2: Calculate the initial temperature
Calculate the initial temperature
(P1*V1)/T1 = (P2*V2)/T2
⇒with P1 = the initial pressure = 0.986923 atm
⇒with V1 = the initial volume = 21 L
⇒ with T1 = the initial temperature = ?
⇒with P2 = the final pressure = 1.48038 atm
⇒with V2 = the final volume = 14 L
⇒with T2 = the final temperature = 300 K
(0.986923 * 21)/T1 = (1.48038*14)/300
T1 = 300 K
The initial temperature is 300 K (The temperature doesn't change)
