Answer:
0.42 m³
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Initial temperature (T1) = 300 K
Initial volume = 1.27 m³
Final temperature (T2) = 100 K
Final volume (V2) =?
The final volume of the gas can be obtained by using the Charles' equation as illustrated below:
V1/T1 = V2/T2
1.27 / 300 = V2 / 100
Cross multiply
300 × V2 = 1.27 × 100
300 × V2 = 127
Divide both side by 300
V2 = 127 / 300
V2 = 0.42 m³
Therefore, the new volume of the gas is 0.42 m³
