Question

2)

A gas takes up a volume of 17 liters, has a pressure of 2.3 atm, and a
temperature of 299 K. If I raise the temperature to 350 K and lower the
pressure to 1.5 atm, what is the new volume of the gas?

Answer 1

Final volume 30.513 L.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to general gas equation:

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

Given data:

Initial volume = 17 L

Initial pressure = 2.3 atm

Initial temperature = 299 K

Final temperature = 350 K

Final volume = ?

Final pressure = 1.5 atm

Solution:

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

V₂ = P₁V₁ T₂/ T₁ P₂

V₂ = 2.3 atm × 17 L × 350 K / 299 K × 1.5 atm

V₂ = 13685 atm .L. K / 448.5 K . atm

V₂ = 30.513 L
