Question

A gas occuples 1 liters at a pressure of 25 mmHg. What is the volume in liters when thepressure is increased to 85 mmHg

Answer 1

The final volume of the gas is 0.29L

Step-by-step explanation

Given that

The initial volume of the gas is 1 liters

The initial pressure of the gas is 25mmHg

The final pressure of the gas is 85mmHg

Follow the steps below to find the final volume of the gas

`\text{ P1 V1 = P2V2}`
`\begin{gathered} \text{ 1 }*\text{ 25 = 85 }*\text{ V2} \\ \text{ 25 = 85v2} \\ \text{ Divide both sides by 85} \\ \text{ V2 = }(25)/(85) \\ \text{ V2 = 0.29L} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the final volume of the gas is 0.29L
