Answer:
Volume is 10.35 L
Explanation:
we are given;
- Initial volume v₁ is 10 L
- Initial pressure, P₁ as 745 mmHg
- New pressure ,P₂ as 720 mmHg
We are required to determine the new volume, V₂
We are going to use the Boyle's law;
According to Boyle's law the volume and the pressure of a fixed mass of a gas are inversely proportional at a constant temperature.
Therefore;
P₁α 1/V
That is;
P = k/V
k = PV
At different conditions;
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
Rearranging the formula;
V₂ = P₁V₁ ÷ P₂
Thus;
New volume = (10 L× 745 mmHg) ÷ 720 mmHg
= 10.35 L
Thus, the new volume of the gas at the new pressure is 10.35 L
