Question

certain gas occupies 6.24L at pressure of 760 mm Hg.If the pressure is reduced to 60.0mm Hg,what would the new volume be?​

Answer 1

79.04 L

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Initial Volume; V1 = 6.24L

Initial Pressure; P1 = 760 mm Hg

Final pressure; P2 = 60.0mm Hg

To solve for final volume, we will use Boyles law;

P1•V1 = P2•V2

Let's make V2 which is the final volume the subject;

V2 = (P1•V1)/P2

V2 = (760 × 6.24)/60

V2 = 79.04 L
