Question

A bag of potato chips contains 585 mL of air at 20.0 C and a pressure of 765 mmHg. Assuming the bag does not break, what will be its volume at the top of a mountain where the pressure is 443 mmHg and the temperature is 9.0 C?

Answer 1

Answer:

volume = 972.23ml

Explanation:

using general gas law

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

765 x 585/293 = 443 x V2/282

1527.39 =443 x V2/282

1527.38 x 282 = 443 x V2

430695.78 = 443 x V2

V2 = 430695.68/443

V2 = 972.23mL
