Answer:

Initial temperature, T1 = 99.4 Kelvin

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

  • Initial volume, V1 = 65.8 Litres
  • Final temperature, T2 = 200 Kelvin
  • Final volume, V2 = 132.4 Litres

To find the initial temperature (T1), we would use Charles' law;

Charles states that when the pressure of an ideal gas is kept constant, the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.

Mathematically, Charles' law is given by the formula;

\frac {V}{T} = K

\frac {V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac {V_{2}}{T_{2}}

Making T1 as the subject formula, we have;

T_{1} = \frac {V_{1}T_{2}}{V_{2}}

Substituting the values into the formula, we have;

T_{1} = \frac {65.8 * 200}{132.4}

T_{1} = \frac {13160}{132.4}

<em>Initial temperature, T1 = 99.4 Kelvin</em>

Why does water with salt in it freeze much more slower than water without it ? Explain
serg [7]
When you add salt to water, you lower to freezing point of the substance.

So for example, normal water freezes at 0°C. But water with salt in it won't freeze at 0°C, because its freezing point is lowered. 

In answer to the question. It takes longer for water with salt in it to freeze because the substance requires a lower temperature than normal water to freeze.
