Question

A 250.0mL sample of chlorine gas is collected when the barometric pressure is 105.2 kPa. What is the volume of the sample after the barometer drops to 100.3 kPa?

Answer 1

The answer is 262.21 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

The new volume can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

`P_1V_1 = P_2V_2`

Since we are finding the new volume

`V_2 = (P_1V_1)/(P_2) \\`

So we have

`V_2 = (250 * 105200)/(100300) \\ = 262.213359...`

We have the final answer as

262.21 mL

Hope this helps you
