pressure decreases by 50C ? o.O
what is C ?

anonymous · Answer

Yeah it's a very odd question.  C is indeed 50 degrees celcius.  I have no clue how to go about this

anonymous · Answer

My problem actually says the gas temperature decreases by 50 degrees celcius.  Not sure why it copied over wrong onto here.  Change pressure to temperature

I am getting the feeling we will have to use the first law of thermodynamics. But am chem is not very good so am not very sure how.hmm
