Answer:
430 kPa
Explanation:
Use the formula PV/T = PV/T where the left side of the equation refers to the initial values and the right side refers to the final values: (170.2 kPa)(3.5 L)/(298 K) = (P)(1.35 L)/(293 K). The P represents the unknown pressure. Solving this equation gives us a value for P of 433.855 kPa, but because of significant figures (the two from 3.5 L), we round to 430 kPa.
Answer:
The final pressure of the gas comes out to be 433.85 KPa
Explanation:
Initial volume of gas = V = 3.5 L
Initial pressure of gas = P = 170.2 KPa
Initial temperature = T = 298 K
Final volume of gas = V' = 1.35 L
Final temperature of gas = T' = 293 K
Assuming the number of moles of gas remains constant.
The final pressure of the gas is obtained by the following equation shown below
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{PV}{T} = \displaystyle \frac{P'V'}{T'} \\\displaystyle \frac{170.2 \textrm{ KPa}\times 3.5 \textrm{ L}}{298\textrm{ K}} = \displaystyle \frac{P'\times 1.35 \textrm{ L}}{293 \textrm{ K}} \\P' = 433.85 \textrm{ KPa}[/tex]
Final pressure of gas = 433.85 KPa
