Answer:
0.35L
Explanation:
Step 1:
Data obtained from the question. This includes the following:
Initial volume (V1) = 1.6L
Initial pressure (P1) = stp = 1atm
Initial temperature (T1) = stp = 273K
Final temperature (T2) = 60K
Final pressure (P2) = constant (the same as initial pressure)
Final volume (V2) =?
Step 2:
Determination of the new volume of the gas.
Considering the question given, the gas is obeying Charles' law since the pressure is constant. Thus, the final volume i.e the new volume of the gas can be obtained as follow:
V1/T1 = V2/T2
1.6/273 = V2/60
Cross multiply to express in linear form
273 x V2 = 1.6 x 60
Divide both side by 273
V2 = (1.6 x 60) /273
V2 = 0.35L
Therefore, the new volume of the gas is 0.35L
