Question

If a gas at 25.0 °C occupies 3.60 liters at a pressure of 1.00 atm, what will be its volume at a pressure of 2.50 atm?

Answer 1

1.44 L

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 25 is constant it is no use. Now, rearrange the gas formula. You should get...

P1V1/T2=P2V2T1

Next, rearrange to fit the problem. You should get...

V2=P1V1/P2

Fill in our values and solve. You should get 1.44 L

We can check this by knowing that P and V at constant T have an inverse relationship. Hence, this is correct.
