Question

ammonia gas is used as refrigerant 0.474 atm. Pressure is required to change 2000 cm3 sample of ammonia initially at 1.0 atm to 4.22 dm3 at constant temperature. Show this data in boyles law​

Answer 1

Answer: The pressure required is 0.474 atm

Explanation:

Boyle's Law: This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

$P\propto \frac{1}V}$   (At constant temperature and number of moles)

The equation is,

${P_1V_1}={P_2V_2}$

where,

$P_1$ = initial pressure of gas = 1.0 atm

$P_2$ = final pressure of gas = ?

$V_1$ = initial volume of gas = $2000cm^3$

$V_2$ = final volume of gas = $4.22dm^3=4220cm^3$    ($1dm^3=1000cm^3)$

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

${1.0\times 2000}={P_2\times 4200}$

$P_2=0.474atm$

The pressure required is 0.474 atm
