Behavior of Gases

Question 8 • CCPS-2002400-Integrated Science 1 SEM A (IC) SY27

A gas is cooled from 365 K to 285 K while its volume changes from 12.8 L to 9.9 L. The initial pressure of the gas is 1.9 atm.

Answer
A
1.3 atm
B
2.9 atm
C
1.9 atm
D
9.9 atm

Explanation

Use the combined gas law: P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂. Solving for the final pressure gives P₂ = (1.9 atm × 12.8 L × 285 K) ÷ (365 K × 9.9 L) ≈ 1.92 atm. Rounded to the given choices, the final pressure is 1.9 atm, choice C.
