Question

Calculate the temperature change when 2.00 L at 293 K is compressed to 1.00 L.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\Delta T=-146.5K$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, given the Charles' law which allows us to understand the volume-temperature behavior as shown below:

$\frac{T_1}{V_1}=\frac{T_2}{V_2}$

Thus, given that we need to calculate the final temperature after the compression, we obtain:

$T_2=\frac{V_2T_1}{V_1}=\frac{1.00L*293K}{2.00L}\\\\T_2=146.5K$

Thus, the temperature change would be:

$\Delta T=T_2-T_1=146.5K-293K\\\\\Delta T=-146.5K$
