Answer to Question #86368 in General Chemistry for Enci Peng

Question

A 20 L container is filled with helium and the pressure is 148 atm and the temperature is 318 K. What volume can be filled in liters when the temperature is 25° C and the atmospheric pressure is 760 torr?

Answer 1

p₁*V₁/T₁ = p₂*V₂/T₂

p₁ = 148 atm = 15000000 Pa

p₂ = 760 torr = 101325 Pa

V₂ = (p₁ * V₁ * T₂) / (p₂ * T₁) = (15000000 * 20 * 318) / (101325 * 298) = 3160 L

Answer = 3160 L
