Question

A gas has a volume of 1000.0 mL at a temperature of 20.OK and a pressure

Answer 1

Answer:

4000mL

Explanation:

Using the combined gas law equation as follows:

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

Where;

P1 = initial pressure (atm)

P2 = final pressure (atm)

V1 = initial volume (mL)

V2 = final volume (mL)

T1 = initial temperature (K)

T2 = final temperature (K)

According to the information given in this question:

V1 = 1000mL

T1 = 20K

P1 = 1.0atm

V2 = ?

P2 = 0.5atm

T2 = 40K

Using P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

1 × 1000/20 = 0.5 × V2/40

1000/20 = 0.5V2/40

50 = 0.5V2/40

50 × 40 = 0.5V2

2000 = 0.5V2

V2 = 2000/0.5

V2 = 4000mL
