Concept explainers
Interpretation: Volume is calculated at varying pressures
Concept introduction: As per the Boyle’s law, the pressure and volume are inversely related, which means that as the pressure of the gas reduces, its volume increases and vice versa. Since, the product of pressure and volume of the gas always remains constant at a particular temperature and amount of gas. The equation gives the relation between pressure and volume is,
Given: At pressure of 760 mmHg, a sample of nitrogen (N2) has a volume of 50.0 L. Any change in the pressure, volume of nitrogen gas changed accordingly. We need to calculate the final volumes (in liters) on given pressures at constant amount and temperature.
a. 725 mmHg
b. 2.0 atm
c. 0.500 atm
d. 850 Torr
