Question

A 350. mL air sample collected at 35 degrees C has a pressure of 556 mm Hg.
What pressure will the air exert if it is allowed to expand to 425 mL at 57 degrees
C? Show your work in the space below.​

Answer 1

Answer:

485 torr

Explanation:

Explanation:

We can solve this equation using the combined gas law:

P1V1/T1=P2V2/T2

Remember, always use the absolute (Kelvin) temperature when working with gas equations.

The temperature conversions are

T1=C+273=35o+273=308K

T2=57C+273=330K

Since we're trying to find the final pressure, let's rearrange this equation to solve for

P2:

P2=P1V1T2/T1V2

Our known values:

P1= 550 torr

V1=350mL

T1=308K

V2=425"mL

T2=330K

Let's plug these into the equation to find the final pressure:

The final pressure after it is subjected to these changes is thus 485torr
