Answer :-
The gas will occupy a volume of 0.92 litres at -20°C .
Explanation :-
We have :-
→ Initial Volume (V₁) = 1 L
→ Initial temperature (T₁) = 0°C
→ Final temperature (T₂) = -20°C
To find :-
→ Final volume (V₂)
________________________________
Firstly, let's convert the unit of initial and final temperatures from °C to K .
Initial temperature :-
⇒ 0°C = 273 K
⇒ 273 K
Final temperature :-
⇒ -20°C = 273 - 20
⇒ 253 K
________________________________
Now according to Charle's Law, we know that :-
V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂ [Pressure is constant]
⇒ 1/273 = V₂/253
⇒ V₂ = (253 × 1)/273
⇒ V₂ = 253/273
⇒ V₂ = 0.92 L
Given :-
1 litre gas is measured at zero degree celsius
To Find :-
What volume will it occupied at -20degree celcius
Solution :-
We know that
0° C = 273.15° K
-20° C = 273.15° + (-20)
-20° C = 273.15 - 20
-20° C = 253.15° K
Now
V/T = V'/T'
1/273.15 = V'/253.15
1 × 253.15 = 273.15 × V'
253.15 = 273.15 × V'
253.15/273.15 = V'
0.926 = V'
