a sample of a gas has a volume kf 640 cm^{3} at 100°c and 1490 mmhg, what would be its volume at stp?

V₂ = 918.1 cm³

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 640 cm³

Initial temperature = 100°C (100+273 = 373 K)

Initial pressure = 1490 mmHg (1490 /760 = 1.96 atm)

Final volume = ?

Final temperature = 273 K

Final pressure = 1 atm

Solution:

Formula:  

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂  

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

P₂ = Final pressure

V₂ = Final volume

T₂ = Final temperature

now we will put the values in formula.

V₂ = P₁V₁ T₂/ T₁ P₂  

V₂ = 1.96 atm × 640 cm³ × 273 K / 373 K × 1 atm

V₂ = 342451.2 atm .cm³ . K / 373 K. atm

V₂ = 918.1 cm³

the correct answer would be b) volume versus temperature, because they are also directly proportional.
