A sample of air has a volume of 200 mL at 37ºC. At what temperature {in ºC} would its volume be 100 mL?

Question

Process and answer needed!

Answer 1

Using Charle's Gas Law:

V1/T1 = V2/T2

We have:

V1 = 200 mL

V2 = 100 mL

T1 = 37 C

T2 = ?

Therefore:

T2 = V2T1 / V1 = (100 mL * 37 C) / 200 mL = 18.5 C
