Answer: 8.45 L
Explanation:
Given that,
Initial volume (V1) = 3.5L
Initial pressure (P1) = 2.5 atm
[Since final pressure is given in torr, convert 2.5 atm to torr
If 1 atm = 760 torr
2.5 atm = 2.5 x 760 = 1900 torr
Final volume (V2) = ?
Final pressure (P2) = 787 torr
Since pressure and volume are given while temperature remains the same, apply the formula for Boyle's law
P1V1 = P2V2
3.5L x 1900 torr = 787 torr x V2
6650L•torr = 787 torr•V2
Divide both sides by 787 torr
6650L•torr/787 torr = 787 torr•V2/787 torr
8.45 L = V2
Thus, the volume of the gas at 787 torr and at the same temperature is 8.45 Liters
Answer:
As solute concentration increases, vapor pressure decreases.
Step-by-step explanation:
As solute concentration increases, the number of solute particles at the surface of the solution increases, so the number of <em>solvent </em>particles at the surface <em>decreases</em>.
Since there are fewer solvent particles available to evaporate from the surface, the vapour pressure decreases.
C. and D. are <em>wrong</em>. The vapour pressure depends <em>only</em> on the number of particles. It does not depend on the nature of the particles.
To the right
Because there is an unbalanced force in that direction
