Question

A gas occupies 12.3 liters at a pressure of 0.05 atm what is the volume when the pressure is increased to 0.08 atm show work

Answer 1

`\huge{ \boxed{7.69 \: litres}}`

Step-by-step explanation:

The final volume can be found by using the formula;

`P_1V_1 = P_2V_2`

where;

P1 is the initial pressure

P2 is the final pressure

V1 is the initial volume

V2 is the final volume

Since we're finding V2, we make V2 the subject.

`V_2 = (P_1v_1)/(P_2)`

From the question

P1 = 0.05 atm

P2 = 0.08 atm

V1 = 12.3 litres

V2 = ? litres

`\therefore \: v2 = (0.05 * 12.3)/(0.08) \\ = 7.69 \: litres`
