Answer:
V₂ = 0.62 L
Explanation:
Given data:
Initial volume = 2.4 L
Initial temperature = 25°C
Final temperature = -196°C
Final volume = ?
Solution:
Initial temperature = 25°C (25+273 = 298 K)
Final temperature = -196°C ( -196+273 = 77 K)
The given problem will be solve through the Charles Law.
According to this law, The volume of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant number of moles and pressure.
Mathematical expression:
V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂
V₁ = Initial volume
T₁ = Initial temperature
V₂ = Final volume
T₂ = Final temperature
Now we will put the values in formula.
V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂
V₂ = V₁T₂/T₁
V₂ = 2.4 L × 77 K / 298 k
V₂ = 184.8 L.K / 298 K
V₂ = 0.62 L
