If a gas is initially at 5.50 atm, 121L, 293K,
then it changes to 5.15 atm and 298K, what is the new volume?

Respuesta :

Answer:

New volume is 131.428 liters

Explanation:

In the question, we are given;

Initial pressure, P1 = 5.50 atm

Initial volume, V1 = 121 L

Initial temperature, T1 = 293 K

New pressure, P2 = 5.15 atm

New temperature, T2 = 298 K

We are required to find the new volume, V2,

Using the combined gas law, whose formula is ;

[tex]\frac{P1V1}{T1}=\frac{P2V2}{T2}[/tex]

To get V2

[tex]V2=\frac{P1V1T2}{T1P2}[/tex]

Therefore;

[tex]V2=\frac{(5.50)(121)(298)}{(293)(5.15)}[/tex]

[tex]V2=131.428liters[/tex]

Thus, the new volume is 131.428 Liters
