Answer

See the answer below.

Work Step by Step

a) A sample of an ideal gas was initially under a pressure of 500 kPa when its temperature is 400$^\circ$C. It then undergoes an isochoric process where its final pressure is 200 kPa. Find its final temperature in Celsius. b) We have 2 points here, $(V,500\;\rm kPa)$, and $(V,200\;\rm kPa)$ See the figure below. c) The final temperature is given by $$T_2=\dfrac{200(400+273)}{500}-273$$ $$T_2=\color{red}{\bf -3.8}^\circ \rm C$$
