Answer : The final pressure of the basketball is, 0.990 atm
Explanation :
Gay-Lussac's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant volume and number of moles.
or,
where,
= initial pressure = 1.10 atm
= final pressure = ?
= initial temperature =
= initial temperature =
Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:
Thus, the final pressure of the basketball is, 0.990 atm
Explanation:
Vapor pressure is defined as the pressure exerted by vapors or gas on the surface of a liquid.
It is known that at standard condition, vapor pressure is 760 mm Hg.
And, it is given that methanol vapor pressure in air is 88.5 mm Hg.
Hence, calculate the volume percentage as follows.
Volume percentage =
=
= 11.65%
Thus, we can conclude that the maximum volume percent of Methanol vapor that can exist at standard conditions is 11.65%.
