a sample of oxygen gas occupies a volume of 25.0ml at 740.0 torrent what volume will occupyat 800.0 torr

23.1mL

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial volume of the gas = 25ml

Initial pressure  = 740torr

Final pressure  = 800torr

Unknown:

Final volume  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we apply Boyle's law which states that "the volume of a fixed mass of a gas varies inversely as the pressure changes if the temperature is constant"

         P₁ V₁   = P₂ V₂

P and V are pressure and volume

1 and 2 are initial and final states

       Insert the parameters and solve;

      740 x 25  = 800 x v₂

            v₂  = 23.1mL
