Answer:
The new volume, after increasing the pressure to 785 torr, will be 1.22 L
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Volume of neon sign is 1.51 L
Pressure of the neon gas = 635 torr
The pressure increases to 785 torr
Step 2: Calculate the volume
P1*V1 = P2*V2
⇒with P1 = the initial pressure of the gas = 635 torr
⇒with V1 = the initial volume of the gas = 1.51 L
⇒with P2 = the increased pressure = 785 torr
⇒with V2 = the new volume = TO BE DETERMINED
635 torr * 1.51 L = 785 torr * V2
V2 = (635 torr * 1.51 L ) / 785 torr
V2 = 1.22 L
The new volume, after increasing the pressure to 785 torr, will be 1.22 L
