When the temperature of a gas changes, it's volume decreases from 12 cm3 to 7 cm3 if the final temperature is measured to be 18°C what is the initial temperature in Kelvin units?

pls help :)

The initial temperature is 499 K

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

initial volume = 12 cm3 = 12 mL

Final volume = 7 cm3 = 7mL

The final temperature = 18 °C = 291 K

Step 2: Calculate the initial temperature

V1/T1 = V2/T2

⇒with V1 = the initial volume = 0.012 L

⇒with T1 = the initial volume = ?

⇒with V2 = the final volume 0.007 L

⇒with T2 = The final temperature = 291 K

0.012 / T1 = 0.007 / 291

0.012/T1 = 2.4055*10^-5

T1 = 0.012/2.4055*10^-5

T1 = 499 K

The initial temperature is 499 K
