A gas has a volume of 1.6 liters at STP. What is the new volume when the temperature is changed to 60k and the pressure stays to constant at 1.0 atm?

The answer is 0,351 Liters

Explanation:

The combined gas law says that there is a relationship between the volume, temperature, and pressure of a gas. And that pressure is inversely proportional to temperature and volume, so if one of these 3 changes, the others will change too.

The combined gas law equation is =

(P1 * V1) / T1 = (P2 * V2) / T2

Being 1 the initial variables and 2 the final variables.

So the equation is solved to find the final volume:

V2 = (P1 * V1 * T2) / (P2 * T1) V1 = 1.6L T1 = 273.15K P1 = 1 atm T2 = 60K P2 = 1 atm

- Then, we put each variable its value to find the answer

V2 = (1 atm * 1.6L * 60K) / (1 atm * 273.15K)

- And, you give the answer:

The final volume will be 0,351 Liters
