Hello!
If I initially have a gas at a pressure of 12 atm, volume of 23 liters, and temperature of 200 K, and then I raise the pressure to 14 atm and increase the temperature to 300 K, what is the new volume of the gas?
We have the following data:
P1 (initial pressure) = 12 atm
V1 (initial volume) = 23 L
T1 (initial temperature) = 200 K
P2 (final pressure) = 14 atm
T2 (final temperature) = 300 K
V2 (final volume) = ? (in L)
Now, we apply the data of the variables above to the General Equation of Gases, let's see:
![(12*23)/(200) =(14*V_2)/(300)](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/chemistry/middle-school/9pynmhj0y5zp6gnujffnro4oze1jox5u45.png)
![(276)/(200) =(14\:V_2)/(300)](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/chemistry/middle-school/7pe1fgkrnwv493k10mvs70k9hjoj4aau5o.png)
multiply the means by the extremes
![200*14\:V_2 = 276*300](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/chemistry/middle-school/3ujsdmy7ux5gycbl5ylvpzejnr2gcmdgwb.png)
![2800\:V_2 = 82800](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/chemistry/middle-school/e06wd5nk962q6nyy6nv4r7agva2wvu47gl.png)
![V_2 = \frac{82800\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\frac{\hspace{0.4cm}}{~}}{2800\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\frac{\hspace{0.4cm}}{~}}](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/chemistry/middle-school/fr1rli1hj6ixzyhga5bhvay3joqt1i5amo.png)
![V_2 \approx 29.57142857... \to \boxed{\boxed{V_2 \approx 30\:L}}\:\:\:\:\:\:\bf\blue{\checkmark}](https://img.qammunity.org/2020/formulas/chemistry/middle-school/qof7a4k9cksi0wzti48v6abn093ttnz55z.png)
*** Note: the approximation rule says that when the number before the digit 5 is odd, the previous value is raised to the next even number
Answer:
The new volume is approximately 30 Liters
