Considering what you now know about Gay-Lussac’s law, make a prediction based on the following situation: What would happen to the pressure of a gas inside a sealed bottle, if the bottle was cooled to half of its original temperature? Explain your thoughts.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The final pressure of the gas inside the bottle is reduces to half of its initial value.

Explanation:

According to Gay-Lussac’s law the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas.

P ∝ T

[tex]\frac{P_1}{P_2} = \frac{T_1}{T_2}[/tex]

Given that bottle was cooled to half of its original temperature means

[tex]T_2 = \frac{1}{2} T_1[/tex]

[tex]\frac{T_1}{T_2} = 2[/tex]

[tex]\frac{P_1}{P_2} = 2[/tex]

[tex]P_2 = \frac{1}{2} P_1[/tex]

Therefore the final pressure of the gas inside the bottle is reduces to half of its initial value.

The pressure of the gas inside the sealed bottle will be reduced to half of

its initial value.

Gay - Lussac's law states that the pressure is directly proportional to the temperature of a gas.

P ∝ T

P1  = T1

P2     T2

Since we were told that it was cooled to half of its original temperature then it means

T2 = 1/2 T1

T1/T2 = 2

P1/P2 = 2

P2 = 1/2 P1
