Question

A sample of gas has a volume of 5.58 l at a pressure of 715 mm hg. what is the volume of the gas when the pressure of the gas is increased to 755 mm hg?

Answer 1

The  volume  of the  gas  when  the  pressure  of  the  gas  increases  to  755mm  hg  is   calculated  as  follows

  by  use  of  boyles  law  formula  that  P1v1=P2V2
V2=  P1V1/P2
V1=5.58  L
P1=  715  mm  hg
P2=755  mm  hg
V2  is  therefore=   ( 715  mm  hg  x  5.58  L) /755  mm hg=  5.28 L
