To calculate the new pressure, we can use Boyle’s law to relate these two scenarios (Boyle’s law is used because the temperature is assumed to remain constant). Boyle’s law is:
P1V1 = P2V2,
Where “P” is pressure and “V” is volume. The pressure and volume of the first scenario is 215 torr and 51 mL, respectively, and the second scenario has a volume of 18.5 L (18,500 mL) and the unknown pressure - let’s call that “x”. Plugging these into the equation:
(215 torr)(51 mL) =(“x” torr)(18,500 mL) x = 0.593 torr
The final pressure exerted by the gas would be 0.593 torr.
A lab station usually contains equipment for the people working at the station to use. However, most rooms will only have one fire extinguisher for the whole room meaning it would most likely be located somewhere that is easy to access by all and not just a singular lab station.
Explanation: Index fossils are useful because they tell the relative ages of the rock layers in which they occur. Geologists use particular types of organisms, such as trilobites, as index fossils.
