Question

A sample of nitrogen gas has a volume of 4.5 L at a pressure of 4.0 atm . The temperature and the number of gas particles do not change.

What is the volume of gas (in L ) at 470. mmHg? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant figures.

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the volume of the gas at 470. mmHg, we need to use the combined gas law equation:

(P1)(V1) = (P2)(V2)

Where:
P1 = initial pressure = 4.0 atm
V1 = initial volume = 4.5 L
P2 = final pressure = 470. mmHg = 0.618 atm (1 atm = 760 mmHg)
V2 = final volume (unknown)

Plugging in the values:

(4.0 atm)(4.5 L) = (0.618 atm)(V2)

18.0 atm*L = 0.618 atm * V2

V2 = 29.1 L

Therefore, the volume of the gas at 470. mmHg is 29.1 L.
