Question

A GAS IS STORED IN A SEALED PISTON. THE PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE ARE
THEN CHANGED AS FOLLOWS:THE PRESSURE IS INCREASED BY A FACTOR OF
3.3.THE ABSOLUTE TEMPERATURE IS 23 % OF THE ORIGINAL.IF THE INITIAL
VOLUME WAS 10.0 L, WHAT WAS THE FINAL VOLUME (IN L)?

Accepted Answer

V1=10.0L,V2=?

P2=3.3P1

T2=0.23T1

using general gas equation

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

P110/T1 =3.3P1V2/0.23T1

V2=0.6969L

This is the final volume

Question #141770

A gas is stored in a sealed piston. The pressure and temperature are then changed as follows:The pressure is increased by a factor of 3.3.The absolute temperature is 23 % of the original.If the initial volume was 10.0 L, what was the final volume (in L)?
