Answer:
7.56°C is the temperature when the gas occupies 400cm³
Explanation:
Based on Charles's law, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature under constant pressure. The equation is:
V₁T₂ = V₂T₁
Where V is volume and T is absolute temperature of 1, initial state and 2, final state of the gas.
Computing the values:
V₁ = 560cm³
T₂ = ?
V₂ = 400cm³
T₁ = 120°C + 273.15 = 393.15K
560cm³*T₂ = 400cm³*393.15K
T₂ = 280.71K - 273.15 =
7.56°C is the temperature when the gas occupies 400cm³
