Question

A fixed amount of gas at 25.0°C occupies a volume of 10.0 L when the pressure is 751 torr. Use Boyle's law to calculate the pressure (torr) when the volume is reduced to 9.25 L at a constant temperature of 25.0°C.

Answer 1

811.89 torr

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Boyle's Law ,

At a constant temperature , Product of Pressure and volume of the gas remains constant for a fixed Amount of gas.

Thus,

`P_(1)`
`V_(1)`=
`P_(2)`
`V_(2)`

Here,

`P_(1)` = 751 torr

`V_(1)` = 10.0L

`V_(2)` = 9.25 L

Thus,

751×10 = 9.25×
`P_(2)`

`P_(2)` = 811.89 torr.
