Answer:
The new volume after the temperature reduced to -100 °C is 0.894 L
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Volume of nitrogen gas = 1.55 L
Temperature = 27.0 °C = 300 K
The temperature reduces to -100 °C = 173 K
The pressure stays constant
Step 2: Calculate the new volume
V1/T1 = V2/T2
⇒with V1 = the initial volume of the gas = 1.55 L
⇒with T1 = the initial temperature = 300 K
⇒with V2 = the new volume = TO BE DETERMINED
⇒with T2 = the reduced temperature = 173 K
1.55 L / 300 K = V2 / 173 K
V2 = (1.55L /300K) * 173 K
V2 = 0.894 L
The new volume after the temperature reduced to -100 °C is 0.894 L
