Question

A sample of nitrogen gas has a volume of 478 mL and a pressure of 104.1 K PA is what volume of the gas occupy at 88.2 K PA if the temperature remains constant

Answer 1

`V_2=564.17mL`

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

In this case,

One uses the Boyle's law that allows us to understand the pressure-volume behavior at constant temperature as an inversely proportional relationship:

`P_1V_1=P_2V_2`

Thus, solving for the volume at the new 88.2 kPa pressure, one obtains:

`V_2=(P_1V_1)/(P_2) =(104.1kPa*478mL)/(88.2kPa) \\\\V_2=564.17mL`

Best regards.
