Question

If 4.70 L of CO2 gas at 22 ∘C at 789 mmHg is used, what is the final volume, in liters, of the gas at 37 ∘C and a pressure of 755 mmHg , if the amount of CO2 remains the same

Answer 1

Final Volume = 5.18 Liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial Condition:

P1 = 789 mm Hg x (1/760) atm /mm Hg = 1.038 atm

T1 = 22° C = 273 + 22 = 295 K

V1 = 4.7 L

Final Condition:

P2 = 755 mm Hg x (1/760) atm /mm Hg = 0.99 atm

T2 = 37° C = 273 + 37 = 310 K

V2 = ?

Since, (P1 x V1) / T1 = (P2 x V2) / T2,

Therefore,

⇒ (1.038)(4.7) / 295 = (0.99)(V2) / 310

⇒ V2 = 5.18 L (Final Volume)
