There are 5.5 L of a gas present at -38.0 C. What is the temperature if the volume of the gas has changed to 1.30 L?

We are given:

V1 = 5.5L          T1 = -38 C   or   235 k

V2 = 1.3L           T2 = T

From the gas equation:

PV = nRT

Since the pressure (P) , number of moles (n) and the universal gas constant (R) are constants, we can write the same equation as:

V / T = k  (where k is a constant)

so a bit more insight, since the values noted above are constant, when multiplied by each other, they will provide us with a constant number irrespective of the value of the variables

Changing the variables for the first case:

V1 / T1 = k   (where k is the same constant) (1)

Similarly,

V2 / T2 = k  (again, k has the same value)(2)

From (1) and (2):

k is the common value

V1 / T1 = V2 / T2

Replacing the variables

5.5 / 235 = 1.3 / T

T = 1.3 * 235 / 5.5

T = 55.54 k

Therefore, at 55.54 K the gas will have a volume of 1.3L

answer: the direction of the wind is expressed as the direction from which the wind is blowing. for example, easterly winds blow from east to west, while westerly winds blow from west to east.
