Question

What volume (in mL) will a sample of F2 gas occupy in a syringe at 5.5 atm, if the F2 has a volume of 25.0 mL at 1.2 atm?

Answer 1

5.45mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Boyle's law equation:

P1V1 = P2V2

Where; P1 = initial pressure

P2 = final pressure

V1 = initial volume

V2 = final volume

According to this question, P1 = 1.2atm, V1 = 25mL, P2 = 5.5atm, V2 = ?

1.2 × 25 = 5.5 × V2

30 = 5.5V2

V2 = 30/5.5

V2 = 5.45mL

Therefore, 5.45 mL sample of F2 gas will occupy a syringe at 5.5atm.
