At 1.70 atm, a gas sample occupies 4.25 liters. If the pressure in the gas increases to 2.40 atm, what will the new volume be?
Answer:
3.01L
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Initial pressure, P1 = 1.7atm
Initial volume, V1 = 4.25L
Final pressure, P2 = 2.4atm
Unknown:
Final or new volume, V2 = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we use Boyle's law which states that "the volume of a fixed mass of a gas varies inversely as the pressure changes, if the temperature is constant".
P1 V1 = P2 V2
P1 is the initial pressure
V1 is the initial volume
P2 final pressure
V2 final volume
1.7 x 4.25 = 2.4 x V2
V2 = 3.01L
The weight could be different, metals have a higher mass than nonmetals, so when occupying the same amount of space, the weight of the metal is far more.
Answer:
When air rises in the atmosphere it gets cooler and is under less pressure. When air cools, it's not able to hold all of the water vapor it once was. Air also can't hold as much water when air pressure drops. The vapor becomes small water droplets or ice crystals and a cloud is formed.
