Question

Charles's law describes the relationship of the volume and temperature of

Answer 1

Answer:

The temperature would be reduced by half

Explanation:

Charles' Law => V ∝ T =>  V = kT => k = V/T

For two sets of T vs V conditions, the system constant (k) remains unchanged and k₁ = k₂ => V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂.

Therefore, if V₁ is reduced to 1/2V₁ = V₂ => V₁/T₁ = 1/2V₁/T₂ => V₁/T₁ = V₁/2T₂

and solving for T₂ =>  1/T₁ = 1/2T₂ => 2T₂ = T₁ => T₂ = 1/2T₁

∴ The initial temperature (T₁) would be reduced by half or, T₂ = 1/2T₁
