Question

imple of argon gas at standard pressure occupies 1492 mL. At constantperature, what volume does the gas occupy if the pressure increases to 768Hg?

Answer 1

What we're going to do, is to use Boyle's law:

In this problem, we're given the following information:

P1 = 760mmHg (Which is the standard pressure)

V1 = 1492 mL

P2 = 768 mmHg

V2 = ?

Let's replace these values in the equation and then solve for V2:

The gas will occupy a volume about 1480 ml.
