(PLEASE HELP DUE TODAY!) A gas has a volume of 1000.0 mL at a temperature of 20.OK and a pressure of 1.0 atm. What will be the new volume when the temperature is changed to 40.0K and the pressure is changed to
0.5 atm?

Respuesta :

Answer:

4 L or 4000 mL

Explanation:

This question asks for the use of combined gas law:

(P1)(V1) / (T1) = (P2)(V2) / (T2)

...where pressure (P) is in atm, volume (V) is in liters, and temperature (T) is in kelvin.

1000 ml is 1 L, and everything else is already in the right units.

(1 atm)(1 L) / (20 K) = (0.5 atm)(V2) / (40 K)

Just solve the equation for V2, and you get a new volume of 4 liters

(1)(1) / (20) = (.5x) / (40)

1 / 20 = .5x / 40

2 = .5x

x = 4
