Question

If the pressure on a 1.04L of a sample of gas is doubled at constant temperature , what will be the new volume of the gas?

Answer 1

Answer:

Final volume is equal to 0.52 L

Explanation:

We have given initially the volume is equal to $V_1=1.04L$

Let the initial pressure is $P_1$

At constant temperature $P_1V_1=P_2V_2$, here $P_1,V_1$ is initial pressure and initial volume respectively and $P_2,V_2$ is final pressure and final volume respectively

Now pressure is doubled so final pressure $P_2=2P_1$

So $P_1\times 1.04=2P_1\times V_2$

$V_2=0.52L$

So final volume is equal to 0.52 L
