Answer to Problem 1SAQ

Solution: (b) 1.60 atm.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Initial pressure, P1 = 547 mmHg

Initial volume, V1 = 0.500 L

Final volume, V2 =225mL=0.225L(1L=1000mL)

According to Boyle’s law,

P1V1=P2V2

Substitute all the given values in the above equation to get

547mmHg×0.500L=P2×0.225L

 P2=547mmHg×0.500L0.225LP2=273.50.225mmHgP2=1215.55mmHg

To convert 1215.5mmHg into atmospheres, use the following relation:

760 mmHg=1 atm

or 1 mmHg=1760atm

1215.5 mmHg=1215.5760 atm 1.60 atm

Therefore, the final pressure is 1.60atm.

Conclusion

The pressure at which the volume of the sample is decreased to 225mL is 1.60atm.
