A gas occupies 4.98 L at 2.6 atm of pressure. What volume does it occupy at 1.8 atm
pressure?

Respuesta :

the volume it occupies at 1.8 atm pressure is 10 L

The volume occupied by gas at 1.8 atm has been 7.19 L.

The gas has been assumed to be an ideal gas. For a gas the relationship between pressure and volume has been given by Boyle's law. The expression of the relationship has been given as:

[tex]P_1V_1=P_2V_2[/tex]

Where the initial pressure of the gas, [tex]P_1=2.6\;\rm atm[/tex]

The final pressure of the gas, [tex]P_2=1.8\;\rm atm[/tex]

The initial volume of the gas, [tex]V_2=4.98\;\rm L[/tex]

Substituting the values, for calculating the final volume of gas, [tex]V_2[/tex]:

[tex]2.6\;\times\; 4.98=1.8\;\times\;V_2\\1.8\;\times\;V_2=12.948\;\text {L}\\V_2=7.19\;\rm L[/tex]

The final volume of the gas has been 7.19 L.
