If you initially have a volume of 4 L and a temperature of 300K. Then you decreased the volume to 2 L, what is the new temperature? Choose the appropriate gas law and use a calculator to complete the problem.

T₂ = 150 K

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 4 L

Initial temperature = 300 K

Final volume = 2 L

Final temperature = ?

Solution:

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

T₂ = T₁V₂/V₁  

T₂ = 300 K × 2L / 4 L

T₂ = 600 L.K / 4 L

T₂ = 150 K

just finished the assignment

the ideal gas law equation is as follows

pv = nrt

where p - pressure

v - volume

n - number of moles

r - universal gas constant

t - temperature

so if the pressure, volume and temperature are already known

we are left with n and r

since r is the universal gas constant that has a known fixed value then r too is known

so we are left with 'n'

once we know temperature volume and pressure

we can find the number of moles of gas present using the ideal gas law equation
