Question

A gas at 80 kPa occupies a volume of 5 mL. What volume will the gas occupy at 70 kPa

Answer 1

Answer:

Volume will the gas occupy at $70$ kPa $= 5.71$

Explanation:

As per the gas law

$P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$

Here

$P_1 =$ initial pressure of the gas

$P_2$ = final pressure of the gas

$V_1 =$ Initial volume of the gas

$V_2$ =  the final volume of the gas

here,

$P_1 = 80$ kPa

$V_1 = 5$ mL

$P_2 = 70$

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

$80 * 5 = 70 * V_2\\V_2 = 5.71$

Volume will the gas occupy at $70$ kPa $= 5.71$
