Question

the volume of certain mass of a gas is 0.6dm^3 at a pressure of 95.76kNm^-2.calculate the volume of the gas if the pressure is changed to 147.88kNm^-2 at the same temperature​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given,

Initial volume =V

1

=0.6dm

3

Initial pressure =P

1

=101.325kPa

Final pressure P

2

=142.860kPa

Temperature is constant

We have to find V

2

At constant temperature by Boyle's law,

P

1

V

1

=P

2

V

2

⟹V

2

=

P

2

P

1

V

1

On substituting values we get,

V

2

=0.426dm
