(BOYLE'S LAW)

a gas occupies 5 L at 6.00 atm. what will be the initial volume of this gas if the pressure becomes 3.00 atm?​


Sagot :

Answer:

The volume of this gas : 0.52 L

Further explanation

Some of the laws regarding gas, can apply to ideal gas (volume expansion does not occur when the gas is heated), among others

Boyle's law at constant T, P = 1 / V

Charles's law, at constant P, V = T

Avogadro's law, at constant P and T, V = n

So that the three laws can be combined into a single gas equation, the ideal gas equation

\rm PV=nRTPV=nRT

In Boyle's law, it is stated that

In a closed system, the absolute pressure by an ideal gas is inversely proportional to the volume it occupies if the temperature is constant

So it can be stated

\rm \large{\boxed{\bold{P_1.V_1=P_2.V_2}}

A gas occupies 1.56 L at 1.00 atm. and the pressure becomes 3.00 atm

So :

Initial conditions:

P₁ = 1 atm

V₁ = 1.56 L

Final conditions

P₂ = 3 atm

The volume of this gas (V₂) :

\begin{gathered}\rm V_2=\dfrac{P_1.V_1}{P_2}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{1\times 1.56}{3}\\\\V_2=\boxed{\bold{0.52~L}}\end{gathered}

=

0.52 L

Answer:

PV = constant

(1.56 L) (1.00 atm) = (3.00 atm) (x); 0.520 L
