To determine the starting temperature of the gas, we can use the equation of state for gases:

(V1/T1) = (V2/T2)

Where:
V1 = initial volume of the gas (150 mL)
T1 = initial temperature of the gas (unknown)
V2 = final volume of the gas (120 mL)
T2 = final temperature of the gas (33 degrees Celsius)

Let's substitute the given values into the equation and solve for T1:

(150 mL / T1) = (120 mL / 33 degrees Celsius)

Now, let's cross-multiply and solve for T1:

150 mL * 33 degrees Celsius = 120 mL * T1

4,950 mL·degrees Celsius = 120 mL * T1

T1 = (4,950 mL·degrees Celsius) / 120 mL

T1 ≈ 41.25 degrees Celsius

Therefore, the starting temperature of the gas is approximately 41.25 degrees Celsius.

To determine the starting temperature of the gas, we can use the ideal gas law equation:

PV = nRT

where:
P = pressure of the gas
V = volume of the gas
n = number of moles of gas
R = ideal gas constant
T = temperature of the gas in Kelvin

Since we are given the initial volume (V1 = 150 mL) and final volume (V2 = 120 mL) of the gas, we can determine the ratio of the volumes (V2/V1). This ratio would be used to find the initial temperature (T1) in terms of the final temperature (T2).

Now, let's calculate the ratio of volumes:

V2/V1 = 120mL / 150mL
= 0.8

The temperature (T) should be in Kelvin, so we need to convert the given Celsius temperature (33 degrees) to Kelvin by adding 273.15:

T2 = 33 + 273.15
= 306.15 K

Now, we can rearrange the ideal gas law equation to solve for T1:

(V2/V1) = (T2/T1)

Substituting the values we have:

0.8 = (306.15 K / T1)

To isolate T1, we can rearrange the equation:

T1 = (306.15 K) / 0.8
≈ 382.69 K

Therefore, the starting temperature of the gas, when cooled to 33 degrees Celsius (306.15 K) and a volume of 120 mL, is approximately 382.69 Kelvin.
