Question

A student is studying a sample of neon in a container with a moveable piston (this means the container can change in size). If the sample in the container is initially at a pressure of 768.6 torr when the container has a volume of 93.2 mL, what is the pressure of the gas when the piston is moved so that the volume of the container becomes 140.2 mL?

Answer 1

Answer:

P2=672.1 torr

Explanation:

use the formula P1V1=P2V2, plug in the numbers so your equation should look like this (763.9)x(98.8)=P2(112.3) answer should be P2=672.1 torr

Answer 2

The resultant pressure of the sample of gas is 510.9 torr.

What is the relation between pressure and volume?

Relation between the pressure and volume will be represented by the ideal gas equation PV = nRT, and for the given question required equation is:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂, where

P₁ & V₁ are the pressure and volume of initial sample.

P₂ & V₂ are the pressure and volume of final sample.

On putting values from the question to the equation, we get

P₂ = (768.6)(93.2) / (140.2) = 510.9 torr

Hence resultant pressure is 510.9 torr.
