Question

The pressure of a gas is 750 torr when its volume is 400. ml. Calculate the

pressure in atm if the gas is allowed to expand to 600.0 mL at a constant
temperature.
a. 0.66 atm
b. 1.5 atm
c. 500. atm
d. 1130 atm

Answer 1

a. 0.66 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

Pi = 750 torr = 0.99 atm. Pf = ?

Vi = 400 ml Vf = 600ml

Using PiVi = PfVf

Then 400ml × 0.99atm = Pfatm × 600ml

Solving for Pf, we have,

Pf = (400ml × 0.99atm)/600ml

Pf = 0.66atm
