QUESTION:
A gas occupying a volume of \(725 \mathrm{~mL}\) at a pressure of \(0.970 \mathrm{~atm}\) is allowed to expand at constant temperature until its pressure reaches \(0.541 \mathrm{~atm}\). What is its final volume?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
Here we have to calculate the final volume.
Given:
Initial pressure of the gas is \(\left(P_{1}\right)=0.970\) atm
Initial volume \(\left(\mathrm{V}_{1}\right)=725 \mathrm{~mL}\)
Final pressure \(\left(\mathrm{P}_{2}\right)=0.541 \mathrm{~atm}\)
Final volume \(\left(\mathrm{V}_{2}\right)=?\)
