A 1.15 mol sample of carbon monoxide gas has a temperature of 27°C and a pressure of 0.300 atm. If the temperature were lowered to 17°C, at constant volume, what would be the new pressure?
1 Answer
The new pressure will be 0.29 atm .
Explanation:
This is an example of Gay-Lussac's gas law, which states that the pressure of a given amount of gas kept at constant volume is directly proportional to the temperature in Kelvins.
The equation for this gas law is
