Answer to Question #159184 in General Chemistry for Freshta

Question

A soda can has a volume of 0.35 liters and before opened its internal pressure is 30 psi. What  volume will the gas expand to when opened (assume 1atm).  

Answer 1

1 atm = 14.7 psi

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

V₂ = P₁V₁ / P₂

V₂ = (30 psi x 0.35 L) / 14.7 psi

V₂ = 0.71 L
