Hey sample of helium occupies 235 mL at 788 tour and 25°C. If the sample is condensed into a 0.115 L flask what will be the new pressure assuming constant temperature?

Respuesta :

the system is in constant temperature

so it follows Boyle's law

i.e.P1V1=P2P2

where P1=initial pressure=788 tour

P2=final pressure= ?

V1=initial volume=235 ml

V2=final volume=0.115 ml

The new pressure of helium gas assuming constant temperature is equal to 1610.26 Torr.

Given the following data:

  • Initial volume = 235 mL
  • Final volume = 0.115 L
  • Initial pressure = 788 Torr
  • Temperature = 25°C.

Conversion:

Initial volume = 235 mL to L = [tex]\frac{235}{1000} = 0.235\;L[/tex]

To determine the new pressure assuming constant temperature, we would apply Boyle's law:

Mathematically, Boyle's law is given by the formula;

[tex]PV = k\\\\P_1V_1 = P_2V_2[/tex]

Where;

  • [tex]P_1[/tex] is the original (initial) pressure.
  • [tex]P_2[/tex] is the final pressure.
  • [tex]V_1[/tex] is the original (initial) volume.
  • [tex]V_2[/tex] is the final volume.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

[tex]788\times 0.235 = P_2 \times 0.115\\\\185.18 = 0.115P_2\\\\P_2 = \frac{185.18}{0.115} \\\\P_2 =1610.26\; Torr[/tex]
