Question

What must the final volume be for the pressure of the gas to be 1.56 atm at a temperature of 336 K?Express your answer in milliliters to three significant figures.

Answer 1

According to the Combined gas Law :

`(P_1V_1)/(T_1)=(P_2V_2)/(T_2)`

The problem gives P1 = 1.32 atm, V1 = 212 ml, T1 = 292 K, P2 = 1.56 atm, T2 = 336 K.Then you just have to subtitute and solve:

`V_2=(P_1V_1)/(T_1)(T_2)/(P_2)=\frac{1.32\text{ atm x 212 ml}}{292\text{ K}}\frac{336\text{ K}}{1.56\text{ atm}}=206\text{ ml}`
