Question

A gas occupies 60 liters at a pressure of 40.0 mm Hg. What is the volume when the pressure is increased to 60.0 mm Hg?

Answer 1

40.0 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial pressure = 40.0 mm Hg

Initial volume = 60 liters

Final pressure = 60.0 mm Hg

Let's solve for the final volume:

(40.0 mm Hg) × (60 liters) = (60.0 mm Hg) × (final volume)

Now, we can rearrange the equation to solve for the final volume:

final volume = (40.0 mm Hg × 60 liters) / 60.0 mm Hg

Simplifying the equation gives us:

final volume = 40.0 liters
