Question

4.A 100 L sample of gas is at a pressure of 80 kPa and a temperature of 200 K. What volume does the same

sample of gas occupy at STP?

Answer 1

V₂ = 107.84 L

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 100 L

Initial pressure = 80 KPa (80/101 =0.79 atm)

Initial temperature = 200 K

Final temperature =273 K

Final volume = ?

Final pressure = 1 atm

Formula:

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

P₂ = Final pressure

V₂ = Final volume

T₂ = Final temperature

Solution:

V₂ = P₁V₁T₂ /T₁P₂

V₂ = 0.79 atm × 100 L × 273 K / 200 K × 1 atm

V₂ =21567 atm.L.K /200 K.atm

V₂ = 107.84 L
