Calculate temperature when 0.50L sample or gas at 1.0 atm and 25degrees C is compressed to 0.05L of gas at 5.0 atm.

4 answers

Use the Combined Gas Law:
P1V1 / T1 = P2V2 / T2
P1 = 1.0 atm, V1 = 0.50L, T1 = 25+273=298K
P2 = ?____, V2 = ?____ (both given)
Solve for T2 to get the temperature in degrees Kelvin
1490
149.0
v1=0.50L. use the combined gas law = (P1)(V1)/(T1)=P2(V2)/(T2)
p1=1.0atm
t1=25C+273=298K. ANSWER IS =149K
v2=0.05L
p2=5.0
t2=???
