Question

I have 24 liters of gas in a piston at a temperature of 215°C. If I cool the gas until the volume decreases to 10 liters, what will temperature of the gas be in °C

Expert Solution
Step 1

The volume can be calculated as,

V1
T1
V2
T2
T1 215 °C
215+ 273 = 488 K
V1 24 L
V2 10 L
Step 2

Substituting the values in the expression we get,

24
488
T2
10
T2 203.3 K
T2 203.3 273
T2 69.67 °C
