A gas has a volume of 546 cm3 at OºC. What is the volume of the gas at -100ºC if its pressure remains constant?
346cm3
446cm3
546cm3
646cm3
746 cm3.

Explanation

\(\frac{V_1}{T_1} =  \frac{V_2}{ T_2}\)

\(T_1\) = 0 + 273 = 273K, \(T_2\) = -100+273 = 173K

\(\frac{546}{273} =  \frac{V_2}{ 173}\)


\(V_2 = 346cm^3\)
