Answer : The change in volume would be reduced to  \frac{1}{4} of its original volume.

Explanation :

Boyle's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

P\propto \frac{1}{V}

or,

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

where,

P_1 = initial pressure

P_2 = final pressure = 4P_1

V_1 = initial volume

V_2 = final volume

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

P_1\times V_1=4P_1\times V_2

\frac{V_2}{V_1}=\frac{1}{4}

Thus, the change in volume would be reduced to  \frac{1}{4} of its original volume.

P1V1=4P1V2
V2/V1= P1/4P1
V2/V1= 1/4
V2=1/4*V1
volume will decrease by factor 1/4

The best thermometer to use where temperatures drop below -39°C (-38.2°F) is:_______.
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The best thermometer to use for this temperature is the alcohol-in-a -glass thermometer.

Explanation:

The alcohol thermometer is a type of thermometer which uses ethanol as its thermometric liquid. This has some advantages at low temperatures because ethanol freezes at about −114.9 °C  that is (−174.82 °F).

Due to its low freezing point, it can still function effectively as a thermometric liquid, expanding and contracting properly based on the applied heat,  when dealing with temperature measurements that are at about -38.2°F.
