Question

A sample gaseous CO exerts a pressure of 45.6mm Hg in a 56.0L flask at 22 C. If the gas is released into a 2.70 x 10^4 liter room, what is the partial pressure of the CO in the room at 22 C ?

Answer 1

P1 = 45.6, V1 = 56.0L, V2 = 2.70 x 10^4, P2 = ??
Use P1V1 = P2V2 --> P2 = P1V1/V2
P2 = (45.6)(56)/(27000)
P2 = 2554/27000 = 0.095 mmHg in the room
