Question

The pressure of 10.0 L of gas increases from 1.50 atm to 1240 mmHg. What is the final volume of the gas, assuming constant temperature?

Answer 1

Answer:

The final volume of gas is 9.19 L.

Explanation:

Given that,

Volume = 10.0 L

Initial pressure = 1.50 atm

Final pressure = 1240 mmHg

We need to calculate the final volume of gas

Using formula of ideal gas

$P_{1}V_{1}=P_{2}V_{2}$

$V_{2}=\dfrac{P_{1}V_{1}}{P_{2}}$

Where, P₁ = initial pressure

P₂ = final pressure

V₁ = initial volume

Put the value into the formula

$V_{2}=\dfrac{1.50\times10\times760}{1240}$

$V_{2}=9.19\ L$

Hence, The final volume of gas is 9.19 L.
