Question

a gas container with a volume of 271 mL contains 0.26 moles of gas. Gas is added to the container so that it now contains 0.80 mole of gas. what is the new volume in milliliters

Answer 1

V₂ = 833.85 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume V₁= 271 mL

Initial number of moles n₁= 0.26 mol

Final number of moles n₂= 0.80 mol

Final/new volume V₂ = ?

Solution:

V₁/n₁ = V₂/n₂

Now we will put the values in formula.

271 mL / 0.26 mol = V₂ / 0.80 mol

V₂ = 271 mL × 0.80 mol / 0.26 mol

V₂ = 216.8 mL.mol / 0.26 mol

V₂ = 833.85 mL
