Question

A sample of O2 occupies 75 L at 1 atm. If the volume of the

sample doubles, what is the new pressure of O2?
atm

Answer 1

1/2 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

The temperature remains constant so the formula is

P = 1 atm

V = 75 L

P1 = ?

V1 = 75 * 2 = 150 L

Formula

P*V = P1* V1

Solution

1 * 75 = P1 * 150 Divide by 150

75/150 = P1

P1 = 1/2 atmospheres
