Answer to Question #349312 in General Chemistry for JADE

Question

A bag of potato chips is packaged in a factory at 101.3 kPa

and has a volume of 350 mL. If this bag of chips is transported

to a city with a at a higher altitude (0.889 atm), what will the

new volume of the bag be?

Answer 1

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

V₂ = P₁V₁ / P₂

V₂ = (101.3 kPa • 350 mL) / 90.1 kPa = 393.5 mL
