A sample of oxygen gas occupies a volume of 200 mL at a pressure of 720 torr. What volume will the gas occupy at a pressure of 800 torr if temperature is held constant

Respuesta :

We have that the gas will occupy at a pressure of 800 torr if temperature is held constant a Volume of

[tex]V_2=0.18L[/tex]

From the Question we are told that

Initial Pressure [tex]P_1=720[/tex]

final Volume  [tex]V_1=200mL[/tex]

Initial Pressure [tex]P_2=800[/tex]

final Volume  [tex]V_2=?[/tex]

Generally the equation for Boyle's law  is mathematically given as

[tex]P_1V_1= P_2V_2[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]V_2=\frac{ P_1V_1}{P_2}\\\\V_2=\frac{ 720*200}{800}\\\\V_2=180mL[/tex]

[tex]V_2=0.18L[/tex]

The gas will occupy at a pressure of 800 torr if temperature is held constant a Volume of

[tex]V_2=0.18L[/tex]
