4. The volume of a sample of a gas at STP is 200.0 ml. If the pressure is increased to 4.00 atmospheres (temperature constant), what is the new volume?

Respuesta :

Answer : The value of new volume is, 50.0 mL

Explanation :

Boyle's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

[tex]P\propto \frac{1}{V}[/tex]

or,

[tex]P_1V_1=P_2V_2[/tex]

where,

[tex]P_1[/tex] = initial pressure at STP = 1 atm

[tex]P_2[/tex] = final pressure =  4.00  atm

[tex]V_1[/tex] = initial volume at STP = 200.0 mL

[tex]V_2[/tex] = final volume = ?

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

[tex]1atm\times 200.0mL=4.00atm\times V_2[/tex]

[tex]V_2=50.0mL[/tex]

Therefore, the value of new volume is, 50.0 mL
