Question

Chemistry: Gas Laws Problems!

Answer 1

Answer : The final volume at STP is, 1000 L

Explanation :

According to the Boyle's, law, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of gas at constant temperature and moles of gas.

`P\propto (1)/(V)`

or,

`P_1V_1=P_2V_2`

where,

`P_1` = initial pressure = 1520 mmHg = 2 atm (1 atm = 760 mmHg)

`P_2` = final pressure at STP = 1 atm

`V_1` = initial volume = 500.0 L

`V_2` = final volume at STP = ?

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

`2atm* 500.0L=1atm* V_2`

`V_2=1000L`

Therefore, the final volume at STP is, 1000 L
