Question

A container has 0.504 moles of a gas at a volume of 2680 mL. When the number of

moles changes to 0.423 moles, what is the new volume?

Answer 1

The new volume is 2249.28 mL.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Avogadro's Law, the number of moles in a gas is directly proportional to the volume.

Initial no of moles are 0.504 moles at a volume of 2680 mL.

It is required to find the volume if number of moles changes to 0.423 moles.

Using Avogadro's Law,

`(n_1)/(n_2)=(V_1)/(V_2)\\\\(0.504)/(0.423)=(2680)/(V_2)`

`(0.504)/(0.423)=(2680)/(V_2)\\\\V_2=(0.423 * 2680)/(0.504)\\\\V_2=2249.28\ mL`

So, the new volume is 2249.28 mL.
