A gas has a pressure of 1.21 atm and a volume of 1.04 L. What is the new volume at 0.671 atm

1.88 L

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Boyle's law, which states that:

"For a fixed mass of an ideal gas at constant temperature, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to its volume"

In formula:

where

p is the gas pressure

V is the gas volume

We can write the formula as

For the gas in this problem we have:

is the initial pressure

is the initial volume

is the final pressure

Therefore, the new volume is

the ideal gas law equation is as follows

pv = nrt

where p - pressure

v - volume

n - number of moles

r - universal gas constant

t - temperature

so if the pressure, volume and temperature are already known

we are left with n and r

since r is the universal gas constant that has a known fixed value then r too is known

so we are left with 'n'

once we know temperature volume and pressure

we can find the number of moles of gas present using the ideal gas law equation
