Question

Agas has a pressure of 6.58 kPa at 540 K. What will the pressure be at 210 K if the volume

Answer 1

Answer:

$P_2=2.6kPa$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the Gay-Lussac's gas law, which illustrates the pressure-temperature behavior as a directly proportional relationship:

$\frac{P_2}{T_2}=\frac{P_1}{T_1}$

We can solve for the final pressure as shown below:

$P_2=\frac{P_1T_2}{T_1}$

Thus, we plug in the initial pressure and temperature and final temperature to obtain:

$P_2=\frac{6.58kPa*210K}{540K}\\\\ P_2=2.6kPa$

Which is not among the choices.
