Question

Carbon Dioxide in a 34 L container at a pressure of 387 mm Hg is transferred to a container with a pressure of 274 mm Hg. What is the new volume if the temperature changes from 211 K to 350 K?

Answer 1

V2= 0.0796m3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that for a real gas the following relation is fulfilled:

PV / T = constant

To use this formula I need to pass the pressure of mmHg to KPa and the volume of L to m3, knowing that

1Kpa = 7.50062mmHg

1L = 0.001m3

So i can say

P1V1/T1 =P2V2/T2

So

V2= P1V1T2/P2T1

V2= 51.60KPa*0.034m3*350k/36.53KPa*211k

finally

V2= 0.0796m3
