Question

The pressure inside a sealed container of methane gas (CH) is 35.0 kPa. If this 80.0 L sample of

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 30.43 L

Explanation:

In order to find the new volume we use the formula for Boyle's law which is

$P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$

where

P1 is the initial pressure

P2 is the final pressure

V1 is the initial volume

V2 is the final volume

Since we are finding the new volume

$V_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2}$

From the question

P1 = 35 kPa = 35000 Pa

V1 = 80 L

P2 = 92 kPa = 92000 Pa

So we have

$V_2 = \frac{35000 \times 80}{92000} = \frac{2800000}{92000} \\ = 30.43478260...$

We have the final answer as

30.43 L
