Answer:
10.2 °C
Explanation:
If all other variables are held constant, you can find the new temperature using the Charles' Law equation. The equation looks like this:
V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂
In this equation, "V₁" and "T₁" represent the initial volume and temperature. "V₂" and "T₂" represent the final volume and temperature. You can find the new temperature by plugging the given values into the equation and simplifying.
V₁ = 122 mL V₂ = 50 mL
T₁ = 25 °C T₂ = ? °C
V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂ <----- Charles' Law equation
122 mL / 25 °C = 50 mL / T₂ <----- Insert values
4.88 = 50 mL / T₂ <----- Divide 25 from 122
4.88 x T₂ = 50 mL <----- Multiply both sides by T₂
T₂ = 10.2 °C <----- Divide both sides by 4.88
