Answer 1

The volume occupied by 1 atm of gass is 41.7 L.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A gas occupies 45.6 L at 695 torr. We need to find the volume occupied by gas if pressure is 1 atm.

For this, firstly it is required to convert torr to atm.

1 atm = 760 torr

It means, we need to find the volume occupied by 760 torr of gas. It is based on Boyle's law. Its mathematical form is given by :

`P_1V_1=P_2V_2\\\\V_2=(P_1V_1)/(P_2)\\\\V_2=(695* 45.6)/(760)\\\\V_2=41.7\ L`

So, volume occupied by 1 atm of gass is 41.7 L.
