Fluorine gas a 300 K occupies a volume of 500 mL. To what temperature should it be lowered to bring the volume to 300 mL?

Respuesta :

180 K

V1/T1 = V2/T2
V1 = 500 mL
T1 = 300 K
V2 = 300 mL

Solve the equation for T2 —> T2 = V2T1/V1

T2 = (300 mL)(300 K) / (500 mL) = 180 K

The temperature should be lowered to 300K to bring the volume to 300mL.

What is temperature?

Temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of a place or a body. The SI unit of temperature is Kelvin.

What is volume?

Volume is the amount of space occupied by matter. The SI unit of volume is cubic metre.

Using Charles law,

V1/V2 = T1/T2

Where, V1 and T1 are the initial volume and temperature

Similarly, V₂ and T₂ are the final volume and temperature.

Given:

V1 = 500mL

T1 = 300K

V2 = 300mL

T2 = ?

V1T2/V1 = V2T1/V1

          T2 = V2T1/V1

                = 300mL x 300K/500mL

           T2 = 180K

Hence, the temperature should be lowered to 300K to bring the volume to 300mL.
