Question

A volume of gas at 1.10 atm was measured at 507 ml. What will be the volume if the pressure is adjusted to 1.90
atm?

Answer 1

Answer:

294mL

Explanation:

We can use this equation to find the unknown volume:

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

To solve, plug in the values we have and solve for the unknown value:

$(1.10atm)(507mL)=(1.90atm)V_2\\\frac{(1.10atm)(507mL)}{1.90atm} =V_2\\V_2=293.53mL$

Rounding to three significant figures gives you the value of 294mL
