Chemistry A basketball is inflated to a pressure of 1.10 atm in a 28.0°C garage. What is the pressure of the basketball outside where the temperature is -2.00°C?

Answer : The final pressure of the basketball is, 0.990 atm

Explanation :

Gay-Lussac's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant volume and number of moles.

or,

where,

= initial pressure = 1.10 atm

= final pressure = ?

= initial temperature =

= initial temperature =

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

Thus, the final pressure of the basketball is, 0.990 atm
