Explanation:
Boyle's law gives the relationship between pressure and volume of gas. It states that for a fixed amount of gas at constant temperature, pressure is inversely proportional to volume of gas.
PV = k
where P - pressure, V - volume and k - constant
P1V1 = P2V2
where parameters for the first instance are on the left side and parameters for the second instance are on the right side of the equation.
substituting the values in the equation
0.947 atm x 150.0 mL = 0.987 atm x V
V = 144 mL
therefore new volume is 144 mL
Answer:
85.5 mmHg is the pressure of the gas sample when the valve is opened.
Explanation:
The combined gas equation is,
where,
= initial pressure of gas in container A = 165 mmHg
= final pressure of gas = ?
= initial volume of gas in container A= 
= final volume of gas = 135 mL + 117 mL = 252 mL
= initial temperature of gas in container A = 
= final temperature of gas = 
Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:
85.5 mmHg is the pressure of the gas sample when the valve is opened.
