Total Points: 0 out of 80
Calculate the volume that will be occupied by
240 mL of hydrogen, measured at 360 mm Hg, when
the pressure is changed to 1080 mm Hg.

Answer 1

80 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Given data

• Initial pressure of hydrogen (P₁): 360 mmHg

• Initial volume of hydrogen (V₁): 240 mL

• Final pressure of hydrogen (P₂): 1080 mmHg

• Final volume of hydrogen (V₂): ?

Step 2: Calculate the final volume of hydrogen

If we assume ideal behavior and constant temperature, we can calculate the final volume occupied by hydrogen using Boyle's law.

P₁ × V₁ = P₂ × V₂

V₂ = P₁ × V₁/P₂

V₂ = 360 mmHg × 240 mL/1080 mmHg = 80 mL
