Question

A student is studying a sample of carbon dioxide gas inside a small syringe. At constant temperature the syringe has a volume of 89. 6 ml at a pressure of 3. 00 atm. When the syringed is expanded to a volume of 215 ml, what is the new pressure inside the syringe?.

Answer 1

The new pressure inside the syringe will be 1.25 atm

Gas law

At constant temperatures, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.

Thus:   P1V1 = P2V2

In this case, P1 = 3.0 atm, V1 = 89.6 mL, V2 = 215 mL

P2 = P1V1/V2

                         = 3 x 89.6/215

                              = 1.25 atm
