If a gas occupies a volume of 400cm3 at a temperature of 400 K and a pressure of 1 atm, at what temperature and pressure would its volume be 200 cm3?
- A. 800 K and 1 atm
- B. 800 K and 0.5 atm
- C. 200 K and 1 atmCorrect
- D. 200 K and 0.5 atm
Explanation
Using the combined gas law, P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2, with P1=1 atm, V1=400 cm3, T1=400 K, V2=200 cm3. Testing each option, only P2=1 atm and T2=200 K makes both sides equal: (1x400)/400 = (1x200)/200 = 1.
