Question

A container of argon with a volume of 22 ml has a pressure of 101.0 kPa.

Answer 1

Answer:

The new pressure is 44.4 kPa.

Explanation:

We have,

Initial volume, $V_1=22\ ml$

Initial pressure, $P_1= 101.0\ kPa$

It is required to find the new pressure when the volume is increased to 50 ml. The relationship between pressure and volume is known as Boyle's law.

$PV=k\\\\P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

$P_2$ is final pressure

$P_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{V_2}\\\\P_2=\dfrac{22\times 101\times 10^3}{50}\\\\P_2=44440\ Pa\\\\P_2=44.4\ kPa$

So, new pressure is 44.4 kPa.
