Answer: The volume occupied at an altitude of 20.0 km is 34.5289 L

Step-by-step explanation:

Boyle's Law: This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.


P\propto (1)/(V) (At constant temperature and number of moles)

where,


P_1 = initial pressure of gas = 101.325 kPa ( sea level)


P_2 = final pressure of gas = 10 kPa


V_1 = initial volume of gas = 3.40774 L


V_2 = final volume of gas = ?

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get the final pressure of gas.


101.325* 3.40774=10* V_2


V_2=34.5289L

Therefore, the volume occupied at an altitude of 20.0 km is 34.5289 L
