Explanation:
Charles' law gives the relationship between the volume and the temperature of the gas. Mathematically,
Volume ∝ Temperature
i.e. [tex]\dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{T_1}{T_2}[/tex]
We have, V₁ = 1.6 L, T₁ = 278 K, T₂ = 253, V₂=?
[tex]V_2=\dfrac{V_1T_2}{T_1}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{1.6\times 253}{278}\\\\V_2=1.45\ L[/tex]
So, the new volume is 1.45 L.
