Question

A 25L tank of nitrogen has a pressure of 6.7 kpa. Calculate the volume of nitrogen if the pressure is decreased to 3.4 kPa while maintaining constant temperature.

Answer 1

49.26L

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

Considering Boyle's law:

`P_1V_1=P_2V_2`

The volume in the second state is given by (solving for it):

`V_2=(P_1V_1)/(P_2) =(25L*6.7kPa)/(3.4kPa) \\V_2=49.26L`

Best regards.
