Answer:
The final temperature is 131 K
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
The initial pressure = 120 kPa = 1.18431 atm
The final pressure = 50 kPa = 0.493462 atm
The initial volume = 45 L
The final volume = 40 L
The initial temperature = 81 °C = 354 K
Step 2: Calculate the final temperature
(P1*V1)/T1 = (P2*V2)/T2
⇒with P1 = the initial pressure = 1.18431 atm
⇒with V1 = the initial volume = 45 L
⇒with T1 = the initial temperature = 354 K
⇒with P2 = the final pressure = 0.493462 atm
⇒with V2 = the final volume = 40 L
⇒with T2 = the final temperature = ?
(1.18431 * 45)/354 = (0.493462*40)/T2
0.15054788 = 19.73848/T2
T2 = 19.73848/0.15054788
T2 = 131 K
The final temperature is 131 K
