Answer:
1.15mL
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Initial volume = 1.55mL
Initial temperature = 95.3°C, to kelvin = 95.3 + 273 = 368.3K
Final temperature = 0°C, to kelvin = 0 + 273 = 273K
Unknown:
Final volume = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we apply Charles's law, it states that "the volume of a fixed mass of gas varies as its absolute temperature if the pressure is constant".
Mathematically;
[tex]\frac{V_{1} }{T_{1} } = \frac{V_{2} }{T_{2} }[/tex]
V and T are the volume and temperatures respectively
1 and 2 are the initial and final states.
Insert parameters and solve;
[tex]\frac{1.55}{368.3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{V_{2} }{273}[/tex]
T₂ x 368.3 = 1.55 x 273
T₂ = 1.15mL
