Answer:
450.0 L.
Explanation:
- We can use the general law of ideal gas: PV = nRT.
where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.
V is the volume of the gas in L.
n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.
R is the general gas constant,
T is the temperature of the gas in K.
- If n and T are constant, and have different values of P and V:
(P₁V₁) = (P₂V₂).
V₁ = 760.0 L, P₁ = 450.0 mm Hg,
V₂ = ??? L, P₂ = 760.0 mm Hg (standard pressure = 1.0 atm = 760 mm Hg).
∴ V₂ = (P₁V₁)/(P₂) = (760.0 L)(450.0 mm Hg)/(760.0 mm Hg) = 450.0 L.
