300 mL of a gas at 27⁰C is cooled to -3⁰C at constant pressure. The final volume is
Options
(a) 350 L
(b) 270 mL
(c) 540 L
(d) 135 mL
Correct Answer:
270 mL
Explanation:
At constant pressure V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂ (Charle’s law)
T₁ = 27°C = 27 + 273 = 300 K
T₂ = -3°C = -3 + 273 = 270K
V₂ = V₁T₂ / T₁ = (300 × 270) / 300 = 270 mL

Acc to Charle's law V1T2= V2 T1
V=300 ml
T1=27°C=27+273K=300K
V2=?
T2= 273-3°C=270K
V1T2= V2T1
300×270=V2×300
V2=270ml
