Answer:
P₂ = 2.7 atm
Explanation:
Given data:
Initial temperature = 30°C
Initial pressure = 3.00 atm
Final temperature = -5°C
Final pressure = ?
Solution:
Initial temperature = 30°C = 30 + 273 = 303 K
Final temperature = -5°C = -5 + 273 = 268 K
According to Gay-Lussac Law,
The pressure of given amount of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature at constant volume and number of moles.
Mathematical relationship:
P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂
Now we will put the values in formula:
3.0 atm / 303 K = P₂/268 K
P₂ = 3.0 atm × 268 K / 303 K
P₂ = 804 atm. K /293 K
P₂ = 2.7 atm
