Question

A 500ml bottle contains 2.50 moles of gas. What is the new volume when the number of miles is increased 5.00 moles?

Answer 1

The new volume is 1,000ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, we know that the number of moles per ml(volume) should be constant irrespective of the increase.

Initially, we have a volume of 500 ml and number of moles of 2.5 moles

The ratio of the number of moles to the volume is 2.5/500 = 0.005 mole/ml

Now, this is expected to remain the same even if we have an increment.

let’s call the new volume x

0.005 mol/ml = 5 moles/x ml

x = 5/0.005 = 1,000 ml
