A cylinder of compressed gas has a volume of 350 ml and a pressure of 931 torr. What volume in Liters would the gas occupy if al
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

0.384\ \text{L}

Explanation:

P_1 = Initial pressure = 931 torr = 931\times \dfrac{101.325}{760}=124.12\ \text{kPa}

P_2 = Final pressure = 113 kPa

V_1 = Initial volume = 350 mL

V_2 = Final volume

From the Boyle's law we have

P_1V_1=P_2V_2\\\Rightarrow V_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{P_2}\\\Rightarrow V_2=\dfrac{124.12\times 350}{113}\\\Rightarrow V_2=384.44\ \text{mL}=0.384\ \text{L}

The volume the gas would occupy is 0.384\ \text{L}.
