Scientists use scientific notation to simplify numbers, basically. When dealing with really big numbers or really small numbers, the usage of scientific notation prevents them from having to write a bunch of zeroes.
Hope that helped you!

(06.03 MC) A 50.0 mL sample of gas at 20.0 atm of pressure is compressed to 40.0 atm of pressure at constant temperature. What i

oee [108]

Answer:

New volume is 25.0 mL

Explanation:

Let's assume the gas sample behaves ideally.

According to combined gas law for an ideal gas-

$\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}$

where, $P_{1}$ and $P_{2}$ represent initial and final pressure respectively

$V_{1}$ and $V_{2}$ represent initial and final volume respectively

$T_{1}$ and $T_{2}$ represent initial and final temperature (in kelvin) respectively

Here, $T_{1}=T_{2}$ , $V_{1}=50.0mL$ , $P_{1}=20.0atm$ and $P_{2}=40.0atm$

So, $V_{2}=\frac{P_{1}V_{1}T_{2}}{P_{2}T_{1}}=\frac{(20.0atm)\times (50.0mL)}{40.0mL}=25.0mL$

So, the new volume is 25.0 mL
