A sample of gas occupies a volume of 486 milliliters at a 508 tour at a constant temperature what will the new pressure when the volume changes to the following 280 milliliters
Using Boyle's Law, we can determine the final pressure of the gas when the volume changes to 280 milliliters.
Boyle's Law states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume, as long as the temperature remains constant. In mathematical terms, this can be represented as:
P1V1 = P2V2
Where:
P1 = initial pressure
V1 = initial volume
P2 = final pressure
V2 = final volume
Given:
P1 = 508 torr
V1 = 486 mL
V2 = 280 mL
Using the equation, we can solve for P2:
P1V1 = P2V2
508 torr * 486 mL = P2 * 280 mL
P2 = (508 torr * 486 mL) / 280 mL
P2 ≈ 883.286 torr
Therefore, the new pressure when the volume changes to 280 milliliters is approximately 883.286 torr.
