Asample of oxygen occupies 47.2 liters under a pressure of 1240 torr at 298k. what volume would it occupy at 303k if the pressure were decreased to 730 torr

81.5 L

Explanation:

We can use the combined gas law equation that gives the relationship among pressure, temperature and volume of gases for a fixed amount of gas.

P1V1 / T1 = P2V2 / T2

where P1 - pressure, V1 - volume and T1 - temperature at the first instance

P2 - pressure, V2 - volume and T2 - temperature at the second instance

substituting the values in the equation

1240 Torr x 47.2 L / 298 K = 730 Torr x V2 / 303 K

V2 = 81.5 L

the new volume the gas would occupy when the conditions have changed is 81.5 L

practical process described pest part of scientific investigation.

because practical knowledge is powerful then therotical knowledge.
