The initial volume of a gas cylinder is 247.5mL. If the pressure of a gas inside the cylinder changes from 790.0mmHg to 230.0mmHg, what is the final volume the gas occupies?

Respuesta :

Answer:

850.11 mL

Explanation:

The final volume can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

[tex]P_1V_1 = P_2V_2[/tex]

Since we are finding the new volume

[tex]V_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2} \\[/tex]

From the question we have

[tex]V_2 = \frac{247.5 \times 790}{230} = \frac{195525}{230} \\ = 850.108695...[/tex]

We have the final answer as

850.11 mL

Hope this helps you
