Answer:
V₂ = 238.05 L
Explanation:
Given data:
Final volume = ?
Initial volume = 13.40 L
Initial pressure = 1.51 atm
Final pressure = 65 mmHg ( 65/760 = 0.085 atm)
Solution:
The given problem will be solved through the Boyle's law,
"The volume of given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure by keeping the temperature and number of moles constant"
Mathematical expression:
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
P₁ = Initial pressure
V₁ = initial volume
P₂ = final pressure
V₂ = final volume
Now we will put the values in formula,
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
1.51 atm × 13.40 L = 0.085 atm × V₂
V₂ = 1.51 atm × 13.40 L / 0.085 atm
V₂ = 238.05 L
