Answer:
Option (B) is correct.
Explanation:
Initial temperature of the gas is T.
The volume of the sample is decreased from 4.5 L to 1.5 L while the pressure is held constant.
At constant pressure, the relation between volume and temperature is given by :
[tex]\dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}[/tex]
Here, V₁ = 4.5 L, V₂ = 1.5 L, T₁ = T₁, T₂ = ?
So,
[tex]T_2=\dfrac{V_2T_1}{V_1}\\\\T_2=\dfrac{1.5\times T_1}{4.5}\\\\T_2=\dfrac{T_1}{3}[/tex]
So, the final temperature of the gas is [tex]\dfrac{T_1}{3}[/tex]. Hence, the correct option is (B).
