Question

A sample of nitrogen gas occupies 9.20 L at 21degrees and 0.999m the pressure is decreased to 0.802 am at constant temperature, what is the

newly occupied volume?

Answer 1

Answer: The newly occupied volume is 11.46 L

Step-by-step explanation:

Boyle's Law: This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

`P\propto (1)/(V)` (At constant temperature and number of moles)

`P_1V_1=P_2V_2`

where,

`P_1` = initial pressure of gas = 0.999 atm

`P_2` = final pressure of gas = 0.802 atm

`V_1` = initial volume of gas =
`9.20 L`

`V_2` = final volume of gas = ?

`0.999* 9.20=0.802* V_2`

`V_2=11.46L`

Therefore, the newly occupied volume is 11.46 L
