Question

500.0 liters of a gas are prepared at 700 mm Hg and 200 C. The gas is placed into a tank under high pressure. What is the volume of the gas?

Answer 1

Answer: 143*tank temperature/tank pressure L

Explanation: too few data. Need to know the pressure and what if any, temperature change.

tank volume = (tank temp/tank pressure)*(500*200/700) = 143*tank temp/tank pressure L

At constant temperature, (500*700)/tank temp

e.g. at 1400mm Hg, 500*700/1400 = 250L
