Question

A gas has a volume of 240.0mL at 25.0 oC and 0.79 atm. Calculate its volume at STP (1 atm and 0 oC).

Answer 1

Answer:

189.6 mL

Explanation:

As per Boyles law when a gas is kept at a constant temperature and mass in a closed container, the volume and pressure vary inversely.

P1V1= P2V2

Here, P1 = 0.79 atm, V1 = 240 ml, P2= 1 atm

therefore, substituting values in above equation we get

0.79×240 = 1×V2

⇒V2 = 189.6 ml

therefore,  its volume at STP (1 atm and 0 oC) = 189.6 ml
