Good Day

Problem:

A Gas collected When The Pressure is 1.5 Atmosphere has a volume of 2.300ml. How Much volume will it occupy with a pressure of 1.7 atmosphere at constant temperature?

Given Data:

V₁ (initial volume) = 2.3 ml

P₁ (initial pressure) = 1.5 atm

V₂ (Final volume) = ? unknown

P₂ (final pressure) = 1.7 atm

Solution:

This problem can be solve using Boyles Law formula which is P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

To solve for V₂,  we can use the formula V₂ = P₁V₁ / P₂

V₂ = P₁V₁ / P₂

    = 1.5 atm × 2.3 ml /  1.7 atm   (cancel the unit atm)

    = 3.45 ml / 1.7

    = 2.03 ml

Answer:

The final volume is 2.03 ml
