Question

5. A flask containing 90.0 mL of hydrogen gas was collected under a pressure of 97.5 atm. At what

pressure, at atm, would the volume be 070 L?

Answer 1

0.125 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Applying boyles law

PV = P'V'................................. Equation 1

Where P = Initial pressure, V = Initial volume, P' = Final pressure, V' = final Volume.

make P' the subject of the equation

P' = PV/V'............................. Equation 2

Given: P = 97.5 atm, V = 90 mL = 0.09 L, V' = 70 L.

Substitute these values into equation 2

P' = 97.5×0.09/70

P' = 0.125 atm
