A sample of Br2 gas has a volume of 29.0L and a pressure of 1.50 atm. If the initial temperature of the gas is 23 °C, what volume, in liters, will the gas occupy at 3.50 atm and 271 °C?

V₂ = 22.84 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 20.0 L

Initial pressure = 1.50 atm

Initial temperature = 23 °C (23 +273 = 296 K)

Final temperature = 271°C (271+273 = 544 K)

Final pressure = 3.50 atm

Final volume = ?

Formula:  

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂  

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

P₂ = Final pressure

V₂ = Final volume

T₂ = Final temperature

Solution:

V₂ = P₁V₁ T₂/ T₁ P₂  

V₂ = 1.50 atm × 29.0L ×544 K / 296 K × 3.50 atm

V₂ = 23664 atm .L. K / 1036 atm.K

V₂ = 22.84 L
