A gas at 0°C is cooled at constant pressure until its volume becomes half the original volume. The temperature of the gas at this state will be_______________?

Correct answer: A. -136.5°C

  • A. -136.5°C
  • B. - 136.5°K
  • C. -273°C
  • D. 0°K

Explanation

At constant pressure, Charles's law gives V/T = constant using absolute temperature. Halving the volume halves 273 K to 136.5 K, which is −136.5°C.
