Answer:
The new volume of a gas at 750 mmhg and with a volume of 2. 00 l when allowed to change its volume at constant temperature until the pressure is 600 mmhg is 2.5 Liters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Boyle's law states that the pressure of a given amount of gas is inversely proportional to it's volume at constant temperature. It is written as;
P ∝ V
P V = K
P1 V1 = P2 V2
Parameters :
P1 = Initial pressure of the gas = 750 mmHg
V1 = Initial pressure of the gas = 2. 00 Liters
P2 = Final pressure of the gas = 600 mmHg
V2 = Fimal volume of the gas = ? Liters
Calculations :
V2 = P1 V1 ÷ P2
V2= 750 × 2. 00 ÷ 600
V2 = 1500 ÷ 600
V2 = 2.5 Liters.
Therefore, the new volume of the gas is 2. 5 Liters.
