A 3.0L sample of carbon dioxide gas at 155 kPa is injected into a 5.0 L vessel. What is the new pressure of the
gas

Respuesta :

Answer:

93 kPa

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Initial volume of carbon dioxide gas (V₁): 3.0 L
  • Initial pressure of carbon dioxide gas (P₁): 155 kPa
  • Final volume of carbon dioxide gas (V₂): 5.0 L
  • Final pressure of carbon dioxide gas (P₂): ?

Step 2: Calculate the final pressure of carbon dioxide gas

If we assume carbon dioxide behaves as an ideal gas, we can calculate the final pressure of carbon dioxide gas using Boyle's law.

P₁ × V₁ = P₂ × V₂

P₂ = P₁ × V₁/V₂

P₂ = 155 kPa × 3.0 L/5.0 L = 93 kPa
