Answer:
1.48L
Explanation:
From the question given, we obtained the following data:
V1 (initial volume) = 2.50L
T1 (initial temperature) = 308K
P1 (initial pressure) = 1.15atm
P2 (final pressure) = 1.80atm
T2 (final temperature) = 286K
V2 (final volume) =..?
Using the general gas equation P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2, the final volume of the gas can obtain as follow:
P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
1.15 x 2.5/308 = 1.8 x V2/286
Cross multiply to express in linear form:
308 x 1.8 x V2 = 1.15 x 2.5 x 286
Divide both side by 308 x 1.8
V2 = (1.15 x 2.5 x 286)/(308 x 1.8)
V2 = 1.48L
Therefore, the new volume of the gas is 1.48L
