Question

Q.4. Cylinder 1 contains 360 cm3 of gas at a pressure 7.0 x 104 Pa. The gas is transferred to cylinder 2 and the pressure increases to 1.9 x 105 Pa. The temperature remains constant. Calculate the volume of cylinder 2.

Answer 1

Answer:

140 cm³

Explanation:

Ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

If mass and temperature are constant, then this simplifies to Boyle's law:

PV = constant

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Plugging in values:

(7.4×10⁴ Pa) (360 cm³) = (1.9×10⁵ Pa) V₂

V₂ = 140 cm³
