Answer to Question #319247 in General Chemistry for Karolyn

Question

A. A sample of oxygen gas at a pressure of 0.986 atm and a temperature of 23.3 °C, occupies a volume of 563 mL. If the gas is compressed at constant temperature until it’s pressure is 1.47 atm, the volume of the gas sample will be ______ mL.

Answer 1

PV=nRT

nR=PV/T=0.986x563/T=555.1/T

1.47V=555.1T/T =555.1

V=555.1/1.47=377.6
