If the pressure on a 1.04 L sample of gas is doubled at constant temperature, please compute the new volume of gas: __

0.52 L.

Explanation:

Let P be the initial pressure.

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial pressure (P1) = P

Initial volume (V1) = 1.04 L

Final pressure (P2) = double the initial pressure = 2P

Final volume (V2) =?

The new volume (V2) of the gas can be obtained by using the the Boyle's law equation as shown below:

P1V1 = P2V2

P × 1.04 = 2P × V2

1.04P = 2P × V2

Divide both side by 2P

V2 = 1.04P /2P

V2 = 0.52 L

Thus, the new volume of the gas is 0.52 L.

we can conclude that the melting point of table salt is above room temperature (it's actually 801 deg c). the melting point of mercury must be below room temperature (- 39 deg c).

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
