Can someone answer this:

At 25 °C and 100 kPa a gas occupies a volume of 20 dm. Calculate the new

temperature of the gas if

a) the volume is decreased to 10 dm at constant pressure.

b) the pressure is decreased to 50 kPa at constant volume.

    Changes specified for both cases = > T (final) = 149K

    Explanation:

    (Given) (a) (b)

    P₁ = 100KPa P₂ = 100 KPa P₃ = 50 KPa

    V₁ = 20 dm³ V₂ = 10dm³ V₃ = 20dm³

    T₁ = 25°C (298K) T₂ = (?) a T₃ = (?) b

    a) Pressure is constant; V ∝ T = > Charles Law problem

    V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂ = > T₂ = T₁ (V₂/V₁) = 298k (10dm³/20dm³) = 149K

    b) Volume is constant; T ∝ P = > Gay-Lussac Law problem

    P₁/T₁ = P₃/T₃ = > T₂ = T₁ (P₃/P₁) = 298k (50KPa/100KPa) = 149K
