Question

Suppose that on a hot (33.0°C) and sticky (80% humidity) afternoon in the spring, a tornado passes over the high school. If the air pressure in the lab (volume of 180.0 m³) was 1.00 atm before the storm and 0.800 atm after the storm, to what volume would the laboratory try to expand in order to make up for the large pressure difference outside?

1. 211 m3
2. 134 m3
3. 1800 m3
4. 7,150 m3

Answer 1

E

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

V₂ = 225 m^{3}

so no exact option is match with the calculated answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Boyle's Law, we have

P_1 V_1 = P_2 V_2 ----------- (1)

Data Given;

P_1 = 1.0 atm

V_1 = 180 m³

P_2 = 0.80 atm

V_2 = ?

Solving equation 1 for V₂,

`V_2= (P_1 V_1)/(P_1)`

Putting values,

`V_2 = (1.0*180)/(0.80)`

`V_2 = 225 m^(3)`

so no exact option is match with the calculated answer.
