A sample of gas at 875$\degree$C is allowed to cool at constant pressure until its volume is one-fourth of its original value.What is the final temperature of the gas?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Charles's Law, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature in Kelvin. When the volume is reduced to one-fourth, the temperature also reduces to one-fourth. To find the final temperature in Celsius, convert the initial temperature from Fahrenheit to Celsius, calculate the final temperature in Celsius, and then, if needed, convert back to Fahrenheit. However, the correct answer here is directly given in Celsius without needing conversion, indicating a direct application of Charles's Law and the proportional relationship between volume and temperature.
