Answer to Question #198066 in General Chemistry for archie

Question

A sample is observed to exert a pressure of 600 torr when confirmed to a 10.0 L vessels at 27 . C what will bbe its pressure in kPa when the gas is transfereed to an 8.0 L vessels at 300K?

Answer 1

$P_1 = 600 \;torr \\ V_1 = 10.0 \;L \\ T_1 = 27 \;C = 27 + 273 = 300 \;K \\ V_2 = 8.0 \;L \\ T_2 = 300 \;K \\ T_1 = T_2 = constant \\ P_1V_1 = P_2V_2 \\ P_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{V_2} \\ = \frac{600 \times 10.0}{8.0}= 750 \;torr = 100 \;kPa$

Answer: 100 kPa
