Question

If the volume of the original sample in Part A ( P1 = 242 torr , V1 = 27.0 L ) changes to 80.0 L , without a change in the temperature or moles of gas molecules, what is the new pressure, P2 ? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Answer 1

The new pressure is 81.675 torr

Since temperature and moles are held constant, we use Boyle's Law:

A gas law known as Boyle's law asserts that a gas's pressure is inversely proportional to its volume when it is held at a fixed temperature and of a given mass.

To put it another way, as long as the temperature and volume of the gas remain constant, the pressure and volume of the gas are inversely proportional to one another.

The Anglo-Irish chemist Robert Boyle proposed Boyle's law in the year 1662.

P1V1=P2V2. Simply plug in your values. The units can remain in torr. Converting to atmospheres is not needed.

(242 torr)(27.0 L)=P2(80.0 L)

P2=[(242)(27)]/80 = 81.675 torr

Hence The new pressure is 81.675 torr
