Answer to Question #138463 in General Chemistry for Javier

Question

Cyclopropane, C3H6, is a general anesthetic. A 5.0 L sample has a pressure of 5.0 atm .

What is the volume of the anesthetic given to a patient at a pressure of 1.0 atm? (The temperature is assumed to remain constant.)

Answer 1

Boyle-Mariotte Law when T=const

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

V_{2 =} P₁V₁ / P₂

V₂ = 5.0 L * 5.0 atm / 1.0 atm = 25 L
