Question

Identify the gas law that applies to the following scenario: A 36.5 liter balloon holding 2.9 moles of carbon dioxide leaks. If we are able to determine that 1.2
moles of carbon dioxide escaped before the container could be sealed, what is the new volume of the container?
O Boyle's Law
O Charles' Law
O Gay-Lussac's Law
Avogadro's Law

Answer 1

Answer:

Avogadro's Law; 15.1L

Explanation:

Boyle's Law- Pressure and volume are inversely related, so an increase in pressure= decrease in volume. We see this in the equation P1V1=P2V2.

Charle's Law- Gas expands/increases in volume when temperature increases, so they are proportional. We see this in the formula $\frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2}$.

Guy-Lussac's Law-  As temperature increases, pressure increases, so they are proportional. We see this in the formula $\frac{P1}{T1} = \frac{P2}{T2}$.

Avogadro's Law- There are equal amount of volume have an equal amount of moles, so they are proportional. We see this in the formula $\frac{V1}{n1} = \frac{V2}{n2}$.

Plugging in the values based on Avogadro's Law, we'll have:

$\frac{36.5}{2.9} = \frac{V2}{1.2}$

12.6 = $\frac{V2}{1.2}$

12.6 x 1.2 = V2

15.1L =V2
