Answer:
3.762 atm.
Explanation:
- We can use the general law of ideal gas: PV = nRT.
where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.
V is the volume of the gas in L.
n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.
R is the general gas constant,
T is the temperature of the gas in K.
- If n and T are constant, and have different values of P and V:
<em>(P₁V₁) = (P₂V₂)</em>
<em></em>
P₁ = 894.0 torr, V₁ = 534.0 mL,
P₂ = ??? torr, V₂ = 167.0 mL.
- Applying in the above equation
(P₁V₁) = (P₂V₂)
<em>∴ P₂ = (P₁V₁)/V₂</em> = (894.0 torr)(534.0 mL)/(167.0 mL) = <em>2859 torr.</em>
- To convert from torr to atm:
1.0 atm = 760.0 torr.
<em>∴ P₂ </em>= (2859 torr)(1.0 atm/760 torr) = <em>3.762 atm.</em>
