Einstein’s Theory of Relativity was built on the research and ideas of other scientists. The Theory of Relativity proposes that the speed of light is aconstant. The statement that explains why this is considered to be a scientific theory is that the majority of the scientific community voted on this theory over other possible explanations.

A 256 mL sample of HCl gas is in a flask where it exerts a force (pressure) of 67.5 mmHg. What is the pressure of the gas if it

Effectus [21]

Answer:

The pressure in the new flask would be $128\; \rm mmHg$ if the $\rm HCl$ here acts like an ideal gas.

Explanation:

Assume that the $\rm HCl$ sample here acts like an ideal gas. By Boyle's Law, the pressure $P$ of the gas should be inversely proportional to its volume $V$ .

For example, let the initial volume and pressure of the sample be $V_1$ and $P_1$ . The new volume $V_2$ and pressure $P_2$ of this sample shall satisfy the equation: $P_1 \cdot V_1 =P_2 \cdot V_2$ .

In this question,

The initial volume of the gas is $V_1= 256\; \rm mL$ .
The initial pressure of the gas is $P_1 = 67.5\; \rm mmHg$ .
The new volume of the gas is $V_2 = 135\; \rm mL$ .

The goal is to find the new pressure of this gas, $P_2$ .

Assume that this sample is indeed an ideal gas. Then the equation $P_1 \cdot V_1 =P_2 \cdot V_2$ should still hold. Rearrange the equation to separate the unknown, $P_2$ . Note: make sure that the units for $V_1$ and $V_2$ are the same before evaluating. That way, the unit of

$\begin{aligned} & P_2\\ &= \frac{P_1 \cdot V_1}{V_2} \\ &= \frac{256\; \rm mL \times 67.5\; \rm mmHg}{135\; \rm mL} \\ & \approx 128\; \rm mmHg\end{aligned}$ .
