There are 5.5 L of a gas present at -38.0 C. What is the temperature if the volume of the gas has changed to 1.30 L?

We are given:

V1 = 5.5L          T1 = -38 C   or   235 k

V2 = 1.3L           T2 = T

From the gas equation:

PV = nRT

Since the pressure (P) , number of moles (n) and the universal gas constant (R) are constants, we can write the same equation as:

V / T = k  (where k is a constant)

so a bit more insight, since the values noted above are constant, when multiplied by each other, they will provide us with a constant number irrespective of the value of the variables

Changing the variables for the first case:

V1 / T1 = k   (where k is the same constant) (1)

Similarly,

V2 / T2 = k  (again, k has the same value)(2)

From (1) and (2):

k is the common value

V1 / T1 = V2 / T2

Replacing the variables

5.5 / 235 = 1.3 / T

T = 1.3 * 235 / 5.5

T = 55.54 k

Therefore, at 55.54 K the gas will have a volume of 1.3L

in this image, you can see solar radiation going through ocean water.

no image, but probably absorption

when two balls of the different masses are dropped from equal height, they reach the ground at the same time .this is because they experience the same acceleration.

the acceleration is independent of mass.

thus when they are dropped they will always maintain the same velocity and travel the same distance (neglect air resistance of course) at the same time.
