Question

At a constant pressure, 10 L of a gas at 546 K is cooled to 273 K

Answer 1

Answer:

5 L

Explanation:

Ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

If P, n, and R are constant, then:

n₁R/P₁ = n₂R/P₂

Using ideal gas law, we can rewrite this as:

V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂

This is known as Charles' law.

Plugging in values:

10 L / 546 K = V / 273 K

V = 5 L
