Calculate the decrease in temperature when 2.00 L at 20.0 C is compressed to 1.00 L
Plz help? this is combined gas laws problem solving....
P1/T1 = P2/T2
Don't forget that T1 and T2 must be in Kelvin.
273 + celsius = Kelvin

To calculate the decrease in temperature when a gas is compressed, we need to use Boyle's Law. Boyle's Law states that the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional, assuming the temperature remains constant.
The equation for Boyle's Law is:
P1 * V1 = P2 * V2
Where P1 and V1 are the initial pressure and volume, and P2 and V2 are the final pressure and volume.
In this case, we are given the initial volume (V1) of 2.00 L and the final volume (V2) of 1.00 L. However, we are not given any information about pressure, so we cannot directly calculate the decrease in temperature.
To solve this problem, we need additional information such as the initial pressure or the relationship between the pressure and volume. Without this information, it is not possible to estimate the decrease in temperature accurately.
