Gas Volume Calculation at Different Temperatures

Calculation of Gas Volume at Different Temperatures

A sample of gas has a volume of 3.50 L and a temperature of 298 K. We need to determine the volume of the same gas sample if the temperature is decreased to 285 K at a constant pressure.

Initial Conditions:
 Volume(v1): 3.5 L
Temperature(T1): 298 K
Final Conditions:
 Temperature(T2): 285 K
Volume(v2): ?

Using the general gas equation:

P1*v1/T1 = P2*v2/T2

Note: Pressure is constant, so the equation becomes:

v1/T1 = v2/T2

3.5/298 = v2/285

v2 = 3.347 L

A sample of gas has a volume of 3.50 L and a temperature of 298 K. What would be the volume of the same gas sample if the temperature is decreased to 285 K at a constant pressure? The volume of the gas sample would be 3.347 L when the temperature is decreased to 285 K at a constant pressure.
