Question

What pressure, in torr, would a sample of Xenon exert if it were compressed from 4001 mL to 3002 mL at constant temperature, given that initially the pressure was 750.1 atm?

Answer 1

Answer:

759779.6 torr

Explanation:

Initial volume, V₁ = 4001 mL

Final volume, V₂ = 3002 mL

Initial pressure, P₁ = 750.1 atm

We need to find the final pressure at a constant temperature. Let it be P₂. $P_1V_1=P_2V_2\\\\P_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{V_2}\\\\P_2=\dfrac{750.1\times 4001 }{3002 }\\\\P_2=999.71\ atm$

We know that,

1 atm = 760 torr

So,

999.71 atm = 759779.6 torr

Hence, there will be 759779.6 torr pressure.
