Question

Nitrogen gas has a volume of 10.00L when under a

pressure of 1000. mmHg. If the temperature stays constant calculate

the new volume if the pressure drops to 500.mmHg.

Answer 1

THE NEW VOLUME OF THE NITROGEN GAS AT 500 mmHg IS 20 L

Step-by-step explanation:

We will solve the question by using the Boyle's law equation;

P1V1 = P2V2

Write out the values of the variables involved in the question

P1 = 1000 mmHg

V1 = 10 L

P2 = 500 mmHg

V2 = ?

Substitute the values into the equation, we have;

V2 = PIV1 / P2

V2 = 1000 * 10 / 500

V2 = 10000 /500

V2 = 20 L

The new volume of the nitrogen gas at a pressure of 500 mmHg is 20 L.
