Weaver · Answer 1

I will use [pV/T] in the state 1 = [pV/T] in the state 2.

State 1:

p = 1.0 atm

V = 25 liter

T = 100 + 273.15 = 373.15 K

State 2:

p = 19.71 mmHg * 1. atm / 760 mmHg = 0.0259atm

V = ?

T = 25 + 273.15 = 298.15 K

Application of the formula

1.0 atm * 25 liter / 373.15 k = 0.0259 atm * V / 298.15 K = >

V = [1.0atm * 25 liter / 373.15 K]*298.15K/0.0259atm = 771 liter
