Answer to Question #141770 in General Chemistry for Mahreen Tanveer

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)?

Answer 1

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
