Question

A gas at 1.5 atm had pits ressure decreased to 0.50 atm producing a new volume of 750 ml what was its original volume

Answer 1

Answer:

The original volume of the gas is 0.001 mL

Explanation:

This easy excersise can be solved by the law for gases, about pressure and volume; the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure it exerts.

We can propose the rule by this formula:

P₁  / V₁ = P₂ / V₂

We replace data given: 1.50 atm / V₁ = 0.50 atm / 750 mL

As the rule says, that volume is inversely proportional, and the pressure was decreased, volume must be lower than 750 mL.

1.5atm / (0.5 atm / 750mL) = V₁

V₁ = 0.001 mL
