Answer:

Initial temperature, T1 = 15°C

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial volume, V1 = 250 mL to Liters = 250/1000 = 0.25 L

Final temperature, T2 = 30°C

Final volume, V2 = 0.5 L

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 is given by;

\frac {V}{T} = K

\frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2}

Making T1 the subject of formula, we have;

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

Substituting into the formula, we have;

T_{1}= \frac{0.25}{0.5} * 30

T_{1}= 0.5 * 30

<em>Initial temperature, T1 = 15°C</em>

A hiker has packed a bag of chips as a snack. At the start of the hike the pressure was 1.5 atm and the temperature was 35*C. At
Mazyrski [523]
According to <span>Gay-Lussac's Law the temperature and Pressure are directly proportional to each other if the amount and volume of given gas are kept constant.
Mathematically for initial and final states it is expressed as,

                                          P</span>₁ / T₁  =  P₂ / T₂     ----- (1)
Data Given;
                  P₁  =  1.5 atm

                  T₁  =  35 °C + 273  =  308 K

                  P₂  =  ?

                  T₂  =  0 °C + 273  =  273 K

Solving Eq. 1 for P₂,

                                   P₂  =  P₁ T₂ / T₁

Putting values,
                                   P₂  =  (1.5 atm × 273 K) ÷ 308 K

                                   P₂  =  1.32 atm
Result:
           As the temperature is decreased so the pressure also decreases from 1.5 atm to 1.32 atm. Therefore the bag will contract.
