An ideal gas in a sealed container has an initial volume of 2.65 L. At constant pressure, it is cooled to 25.00 ∘C, where its final volume is 1.75 L. What was the initial temperature?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Initial temperature was: [tex]178.3^\circ \:C[/tex]

Explanation:

The Relation between the volume and temperature at constant pressure is:

[tex]\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}\\\\\frac{2.65}{T_1}=\frac{1.75}{\left(25+273\right)}\\\\T_1=451.3\:K\quad\:or\:\quad 178.3^\circ\:C[/tex]
