A 300 mL of gas is at a pressure of 5 atm. What is the new volume of the gas at 2 atm?? plss pa answer po ​

Sagot :

Given:

P₁ = 5 atm

V₁ = 300 mL

P₂ = 2 atm

Required:

V₂

Strategy:

This is a gas law problem. What gas law should we use?

Since the given quantities are pressure and volume, we will use Boyle's law. According to this gas law, the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume keeping the amount of gas and its temperature constant.

The formula used for Boyle's law is

[tex]\boxed{P_{1}V_{1} = P_{2}V_{2}}[/tex]

where:

[tex]P_{1} = \text{initial pressure}[/tex]

[tex]V_{1} = \text{initial volume}[/tex]

[tex]P_{2} = \text{final pressure}[/tex]

[tex]V_{2} = \text{final volume}[/tex]

Solution:

Starting with the formula of Boyle's law

[tex]P_{1}V_{1} = P_{2}V_{2}[/tex]

Dividing both sides of the equation by P₂ to solve for V₂

[tex]V_{2} = V_{1} \times \dfrac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}[/tex]

Substituting the given values and solving for V₂

[tex]V_{2} = \text{300 mL} \times \dfrac{\text{5 atm}}{\text{2 atm}}[/tex]

Therefore, the final volume is

[tex]\boxed{V_{2} = \text{750 mL}}[/tex]

Answer:

V₂ = 750 mL
