Question

A gas has a volume of 52.1 L at 1.55 atm. What is the new volume at a pressure of 2.00 atm?

Answer 1

the answe is 40.3775 L

Step-by-step explanation:

from boyles law for ideal gas,

we know,

Pressure(P)*Volume(V)= Constant [provided Temperature and the mass is uniform]

then
`P_(1) V_(1) =P_(2) V_(2)`

`V_(2) =(P_(1)V_(1) )/(P_(2) )`............1

now, P1= 1.55 atm

V1=52.1 L

P2=2 atm

V2=?

we can find the value of V2 or changed volume of the gas by the help of equation 1.

And the answe is 40.3775 L.
