Question

Suppose that 5.2 L of methane at a pressure

of 782 Torr is transferred to a vessel of volume
2.2 L. What is the final pressure of methane
if the change occurs at constant temperature?
Answer in units of Torr.

Answer 1

Final pressure = 1848.36 Torr

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Initial volume, V₁ = 5.2 L

Initial pressure, P₁ = 782 Torr

Initial volume, V₂ = 2.2 L

We need to find the final pressure. We know that the relationship between pressure and volume is given by :

`P\propto (1)/(V)\\\\(P_1)/(P_2)=(V_2)/(V_1)\\\\P_2=(P_1V_1)/(V_2)\\\\P_2=(782* 5.2)/(2.2)\\\\P_2=1848.36\ torr`

So, the final pressure is equal to 1848.36 Torr.
