At 300 k the pressure inside a gas filled container is 500 kPa if the pressure inside decreses to 100kpa but the volume remains the same what is the final temperature of the gas
Answer is: final temperature of the gas is 60 K. Gay-Lussac's Law states that the pressure of a given amount of gas held at constant volume is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature. p₁/T₁ = p₂/T₂. p₁ = 500kPa. T₁ = 300 K. p₂ = 100 kPa. 500 kPa/300K = 100 kPa/T₂. T₂ = 300K · 100kPa ÷ 500 kPa. T₂ = 60 K.
