Question

the pressure of 5.0 L of gas increases from 1.50atm to 1240 mmgh. what is the final volume of the gas, assuming no change in moles or temperature?

Answer 1

V₂ = 4.7 L

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 5.0 L

Initial pressure = 1.50 atm

Final pressure = 1240 mmHg (1240/760 = 1.6 atm)

Final volume = ?

Solution:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

V₂ = P₁V₁ / P₂

V₂ = 1.50 atm ×5.0 L/1.6 atm

V₂ = 7.5 atm. L /1.6 atm

V₂ = 4.7 L
