Question

Find the volume of a balloon of a gas at 842 mm Hg and -23 celcius if it’s volume is 915 milliliters at a pressure of 1170 mm Hg And a temperature of 24 celcius

Answer 1

The volume of a balloon f a gas at 842 mm Hg and -23 celsius if it’s volume is 915 milliliters at a pressure of 1170 mm Hg And a temperature of 24 celsius is 0.22 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given:

Initial volume of the balloon having gas V1= 915ml OR 0.195 L

initial pressure of the gas P1= 1170 mm Hg OR 1.53 atm

initial temperature of the gas T1 = 24 celsius or 273.15 + 24 = 297.15 K

Final pressure of the gas P2 = 842 mm Hg or 1.10 atm

final temperature of the gas T2 = -23 degrees or 273.15 - 23 = 250.15 K

Final volume at final temperature and pressure V2=?

The formula used is of Gas Law:

`(P1V1)/(T1)` =
`(P2V2)/(T2)`

V2 =
`(P1V1T2)/(T1P2)`

putting the values in the equation:

V2 =
`(1.53 X 0.195 X 250.15)/(297.15 X 1.10)`

V2 = 0.22 litres is the volume

The volume is 0.22 litres at a pressure of 1170 mmHg and temperature of -23 degrees.
