Question

If a sample of CO gas at 1.977 atm has a volume of 517.4 mL and the pressure is changed to

3.063 atm, then what will be the new volume of the CO gas, in milliliters?

Answer 1

The answer to your question is V2 = 333.9 ml

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Pressure 1 = P1 = 1.977 atm

Volume 1 = V1 = 517.4 ml

Pressure 2 = P2 = 3.063 atm

Volume 2 = V2 = ?

Process

To solve this problem use Boyle's law

P1V1 = P2V2

-Solve for V2

V2 = P1V1/P2

-Substitution

V2 = (1.977 x 517.4) / 3.063

-Simplification

V2 = 1022.9 / 3.063

-Result

V2 = 333.9 ml
