Answer on Question #48664 - Chemistry – Inorganic Chemistry
Question
A sample of argon occupies a volume of 200 ml at STP. if the pressure is increased to 1520 torr and the temperature is decreased to 136.5 K, then the final volume is.
Answer:
The combined gas law or general gas equation shows the relationship between the pressure, volume, and temperature for a fixed mass of gas:
T1p1V1=T2p2V2p1 is the standard pressure, p1=100.00kPa;
V1 is the initial volume, V1=200ml=0.200l=2⋅10−4 m3;
T1 is the standard temperature, T1=0∘C=273.15K;
p2=1520torr=202.65kPa;
T2=136.5K
Then the final volume of argon is:
V2=p2T1p1V1T2=202.65⋅273.15100.00⋅2⋅10−4⋅136.5=4.93⋅10−5m3=4.93⋅10−2l=49.3mlAnswer: The final volume of argon is 49.3 ml.
