The volume of gas is 250mL at 355kPa. What will the volume be when the pressure is reduced to 76.0kPa?

V₂ = 1167.8 mL

Explanation:

Given dа ta:

Initial Volume of gas = 250 mL

Initial Pressure = 355 KPa

Final pressure = 76.0 Kpa

Final volume = ?

Solution:

P₁V₁ = P₂ V₂

V₁ = Initial volume

P₁ = Initial Pressure

V₂ = Final volume

P₂ = Final Pressure

Now we will put the values in formula.

P₁V₁ = P₂ V₂

V₂ = P₁V₁ / P₂

V₂ = 355 KPa 250 mL / 76.0 Kpa

V₂ = 88750 mL / 76.0

V₂ = 1167.8 mL
