A gas occupies 43.0 L of space at 225 ℃. Calculate the final temperature of the gas if it is compressed to 20.6 L of space.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]T_2=238.57^{\circ} C[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial volume, V₁ = 43 L

Initial temperature, T₁ = 225℃ = 498 K

Final volume, V₂ = 20.6 L

We need to find the final temperature. We know that, the relation between volume and temperature is given by :

[tex]V\propto T\\\\\dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{T_1}{T_2}\\\\T_2=\dfrac{T_1V_2}{V_1}[/tex]

Put all the values,

[tex]T_2=\dfrac{498\times 20.6}{43}\\\\T_2=238.57^{\circ} C[/tex]

So, the final temperature is equal to [tex]238.57^{\circ} C[/tex].
