Question

Calculate the volume of a gas at a pressure of 8.5 atm if its original volume at 2.5 atm is 22.4 liters.

Answer 1

6.59 L

Step-by-step explanation

Given:

Pressure 1 (P1) = 2.5 atm

Pressure 2 (P2) = 8.5 atm

Volume 1 (V1) = 22.4 L

Required: Volume 2 (V2)

Solution:

Step 1: To solve this problem, we will use Boyles Law of gasses

Step 2:

P1V1 = P2V2

V2 = (P1V1)/P2

V2 = (2.5 atm x 22.4 L)/8.5 atm

V2 =
