Question

A sample of carbon dioxide occupies a volume of 2.50L liters at 300kPa pressure and a temperature 273K. What pressure would the gas exert if the volume was decreased to 1.00L at 308K?

Answer 1

The answer to your question is: P2 = 846 kPa

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

V1 = 2.5 l

P1 = 300 kPa

T1 = 273 °K

P2 = ?

V2 = 1 l

T2 = 308°K

Formula

`(P1V1)/(T1)  = (P2V2)/(T2)`

`P2 = (P1V1T2)/(T1V2) \\`

`P2 = ((300)(2.5)(308))/((273)(1)) \\`

`P2 = (231000)/(273) \\`

P2 = 846 kPa
