Question

A 6.00 L sample of O₂ is at a pressure of 760 torr. What must the pressure be to change the volume to 1.40 L (T is constant)?

Answer 1

Answer #1

According to Boyle's law

Pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume at contant temperature.

P directly proportional to 1/V

PV = constant

P1V1 =P2V2

Here P1= 760 torr. V1=6.00L

V2=1.40 L P2=??

P2= (P1*V1)/V2

P2= (760*6)/1.40

P2= 3257.14 torr

Answer 2
