A vessel of 120ml capacity contains a certain amount of gas at 35°C and 1.2 bar pressure. The gas is transferred to another vessel of volume 180ml at 35°C. What would be its pressure

Given parameters:

Initial volume  = 120ml

Initial temperature  = 35°C

Initial pressure  = 1.2bar

Final volume  = 180ml

Final temperature  = 35°C

Unknown:

Final pressure  = ?

To solve this problem, we apply the combined gas law. The expression is given below;

Where P₁ is the initial pressure

           P₂ is the final pressure

          V₁ is the initial volume

          V₂ is the final volume

          T₁ is the initial temperature

           T₂ is the final temperature

We need to convert the parameters to standard units

take the volume to dm³;

      1000ml  = 1dm³

      120ml  = dm³  = 0.12dm³ = initial volume

Final volume;

      1000ml = 1dm³

      180ml  = dm³  = 0.18dm³

Now, the temperature;

       K  = 273 + °C

Initial temperature  = 273 + 35  = 308k

Final temperature  = 308k

We then input the parameters into the equation;

       Solving for P₂;

     P₂  = 0.8bar

The new pressure or final pressure in the vessel is 0.8bar

answer: the primary difference between a hypothesis and a theory is that b hypothesis is falsifiable, but a theory has been proven to be correct. theory is an explanation of something that is happening but hypothesis is a guess of something that can happen
