Question

if a gas at 25c occupies 3.60 liters at a pressure of 100atm what will be its volume at a pressure of 2.50 atm ? problem

Answer 1

144 L

Explanation:

Given: V₁ = 3.60 L, V₂ = ? L , P₁ = 100 atm, P₂ = 2.50 atm

From the Ideal gas equation,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

V₂ = P₁V₁/ P₂

    = 100 × 3.60/2.50

    = 144 L
