The volume of a gas is 27.5 mL at 22.0°C and 0.974 atm. What will the volume be at 15.0°C and 0.993 atm? Use Ideal Gas Law (PV = nRT) to find the appropriate gas law for this problem.

26.3 mL

Explanation:

Step 1:

Obtaining an appropriate gas law from the ideal gas equation.

This is illustrated below:

From the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

Divide both side by T

PV/T = nR

At this stage, we'll assume the number of mole (n) to be constant.

Note: R is the gas constant.

PV/T = constant.

We can thus, write the above equation as:

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

The above equation is called the general gas equation.

Step 2:

Data obtained from the question. This includes the following:

Initial volume (V1) = 27.5 mL

Initial temperature (T1) = 22.0°C = 22.0°C + 273 = 295K

Initial pressure (P1) = 0.974 atm.

Final temperature (T2) = 15.0°C = 15.0°C + 273 = 288K

Final pressure (P2) = 0.993 atm

Final volume (V2) =..?

Step 3:

Determination of the final volume of the gas using the general gas equation obtained. This is illustrated below:

P1V1 /T1 = P2V2/T2

0.974 x 27.5/295 = 0.993 x V2/288

Cross multiply to express in linear.

295x0.993xV2 = 0.974x27.5x288

Divide both side by 295 x 0.993

V2 = (0.974x27.5x288)/(295x0.993)

V2 = 26.3 mL

Therefore, the new volume of the gas is 26.3 mL

convalent bond :

is a chemical bond formed by the sharing of electron between 2 atoms.

it is the direct chemical bond between 2 atoms.

in bond formation atoms are involved here.

electrovalent bond:

is a chemical bond defined as electroststic attraction between 2 atoms.

it is the electrostatic attraction between 2 atoms.

in bond formation, ions are involved here.

hope it
