Question

Krypton occupies 10.8 L at a pressure of 0.38 atm. Find the volume, in liters, of the krypton when the pressure is increased to 1.6 atm at the same temperature.

Answer 1

New volume V2 = 2.565 L

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Old volume V1 = 10.8 L

Old pressure P1 = 0.38 atm

New presuure P2 = 1.6 atm

Find:

New volume V2

Computation:

P1V1 = P2V2

So,

10.8 x 0.38 = V2 x 1.6

New volume V2 = 2.565 L
