A sample of argon gas at a pressure of 698 mm Hg and a tempe

A sample of argon gas at a pressure of 698 mm Hg and a temperature of 34 °C, occupies a volume of 5.38 liters. If the gas is cooled at constant pressure to a temperature of 9 °C, the volume of the gas sample will be L.

Solution

pressure P1 = 698 mmHg

temperature T1 = 34 oC = 307.15 K

volume V1 = 5.38 L

temperature T2 = -9 oC = 264.15 K

V1 / T1 = V2 / T2

5.38 / 307 = V2 / 264

V2 = 4.63 L

volume = 4.63 L
