5.8l of gas at 760 mmhg is expanded at a constant temperature until the pressure is 430 mmhg. what is the final volume of the gas?
a 2.5l
b 3.3l
c 6.6l
d 10l

The answer to your question is: letter D 10 l

Explanation:

Data

V1 = 5.8 l

P1= 760 mmHg

T 0 constant

P2 = 430 mmHg

V2 = ?

Formula

V1P1 = V2P2

and we clear V2 from the equation

V2 = V1P1/P2

V2 = (5.8)(760)/430)

V2 = 10.25 l

i think it's c. i'm not sure but i think so.

the ideal gas law equation is as follows

pv = nrt

where p - pressure

v - volume

n - number of moles

r - universal gas constant

t - temperature

so if the pressure, volume and temperature are already known

we are left with n and r

since r is the universal gas constant that has a known fixed value then r too is known

so we are left with 'n'

once we know temperature volume and pressure

we can find the number of moles of gas present using the ideal gas law equation
