Question

A sample of gas occupies 47.9 mL at a pressure of 671.4 torr. What is the new volume if the pressure changes to 13.5 psi? (Don't forget to convert one

of the pressures)

Answer 1

46.05 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

1 torr = 0.0193368

671.4 torr = 0.0193368 * 671.4

671.4 torr = 12.98272752 psi

boyles law

P1V1 = P2V2

V2 = P1V1/P2

V2 = 12.98 psi * .0479 L/13.5 psi

V2 = (12.98*.0479)/13.5

V2 = 0.04605496296 L

V2 = 46.05 ml
