Answer:
0.01144L or 1.144x10^-2L
Explanation:
Data obtained from the question include:
V1 (initial volume) = 20.352 mL
P1 (initial pressure) = 680mmHg
P2 (final pressure) = 1210mmHg
V2 (final volume) =.?
Using the Boyle's law equation P1V1 = P2V2, the volume of the container can be obtained as follow:
P1V1 = P2V2
680 x 20.352 = 1210 x V2
Divide both side by 1210
V2 = (680 x 20.352)/1210
V2 = 11.44mL
Now we need to convert 11.44mL to L in order to obtain the desired result. This is illustrated below:
1000mL = 1 L
11.44mL = 11.44/1000 = 0.01144L
Therefore the volume of the container is 0.01144L or 1.144x10^-2L
Answer:
0.011437L
Explanation:
In the question, we are told that under a pressure of 680mmHg, chlorine gas occupies a volume of 20.352mL and then the pressure is changed to 1210mmHg at constant temperature.
Boyle's law states that the volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas at constant temperature.
Mathematically;
P1V1=P2V2
P1= initial pressure
V1= initial volume
P2= final pressure
V2= final volume
We will apply Boyle's law to get the new volume.
From, the relationship P1V1=P2V2
We make V2 subject of formula
V2= (P1V1)/P2
Given;
P1=680mmHg
V1=20.352mL= 20.352/1000L= 0.020352L
P2=1210mmHg
V2=(680×0.020352)/1210
V2=0.011437L
