PLEASE HELP!! I’ve got a car with an internal volume of 12,000 L. If I drive my car into the river and it implodes, what will be the volume of the gas when the pressure goes from 760 mmHg to 141.82 kPa?

Answer:

V2 = 8571.43L

Explanation:

To solve for the V2, We can use V2 = P1V1 / P2

= 1.0 atm × 12,000 L / 1.4 atm

= 12,000 L / 1.4 atm

= 8571.43 L
