Question

At 524 mm Hg and 35 °C, a sample of gas occupies a volume of 275 ml. The gas is transferred to a 325-ml flask and the temperature is reduced to 5 °C

What is the pressure of the gas in the flask in mmHg?

Answer 1

400.197mmHg

Step-by-step explanation:

P1V1 / T1 = P2V2 / T2

Where P1=524 mm Hg V1 =275 ml T1 = 35°C +273 = 308k

V2= 325-ml T2= 5°C+273 = 278k , P2= ?

Substituting the values into the formula.

524 mm Hg ×275 ml /308k = P2×325-ml/278k

Cross multiply

524 mm Hg ×275 ml×278k=308k×P2×325-ml

40059800= 100100×P2

P2 = 40059800/100100

P2= 400.197mmHg

Hence, the second pressure will be 400.197mmHg
