Ionic bonds are formed when one of the two atoms that are reacting has excess electrons and transfer the electrons to the atom that is deficient in electrons. During the formation of the ionic bond, one of the reacting atoms will donate electrons and form positive ion.

A cylinder of compressed gas has a volume of 350 ml and a pressure of 931 torr. What volume in Liters would the gas occupy if al

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

$0.384\ \text{L}$

Explanation:

$P_1$ = Initial pressure = 931 torr = $931\times \dfrac{101.325}{760}=124.12\ \text{kPa}$

$P_2$ = Final pressure = 113 kPa

$V_1$ = Initial volume = 350 mL

$V_2$ = Final volume

From the Boyle's law we have

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2\\\Rightarrow V_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{P_2}\\\Rightarrow V_2=\dfrac{124.12\times 350}{113}\\\Rightarrow V_2=384.44\ \text{mL}=0.384\ \text{L}$

The volume the gas would occupy is $0.384\ \text{L}$ .
