Question

to what temperature a gas at 127 degree cel must be cooled so that its volume is reduce to 1/4 of its initial volume

Answer 1

Let v1 = a, v2 = a/4 , T1 = 173 + 127 = 400K,  find T2.

Formula is V1/T1 = V2/T2

                 T2 = 100

                      = 173 degrees Celsius


Hope this helps!
