Question

If 3.0 L of oxygen gas at 177 C is cooled at constant pressure until the volume becomes 1.50 L, then is the final temperature?

Answer 1

First, convert the temperature 177C from Celsius to Kelvin by adding 273.15.

From there, V1/T1 = V2/T2, where V1 and T1 are the initial volume and temperature, and V2 and T2 are the final volume and temperature. Plug in the appropriate quantities and solve for T2.
