Question

A sample of oxygen occupied 626 mL when the pressure increased to 874.27 mm Hg. At constant temperature, what volume did the gas initially occupy when the pressure was 771.75 mm Hg?

Answer 1

709 (With sig figs)

Step-by-step explanation:

Pressure(1) * volume(1) = Pressure(2) * volume(2)

771.75 mm Hg * unknown = 874.27 mm Hg * 626 mL

771.75 mm Hg * unknown = 547,293.02 mm Hg*mL

Divide both sides by 771.75 mm Hg

Unknown = 709 (With sig figs)....709.158432 (without sig figs)
