A sample of an unknown gas occupies 5.51 L at 1.31 atm. What pressure would thisgas exert in a 0.520 L container if the temperature is held constant?

Answer:

P₂ = 13.9 atm (3 sig. figs.)

Explanation:

The pressure (P), Volume (V) relationship with Temperature (T) & mass (n) held constant is an inverse proportionality. That is Boyles Law ...

P ∝ 1/V => P = k/V => k = P·V

For two pressure-volume conditions, the proportionality constant (k) remains constant where k₁ = k₂ and P₁·V₁ = P₂·V₂ => P₂ = P₁·V₁/V₂

Given:

P₁ = 1.31 atm.

V₁ = 5.51 L

P₂ = ?

V₂ = 0.520 L

V₂ = (1.31 atm)(5.51L)/(0.520L) = 13.88096154 atm (calc. ans.) = 13.9 atm (3 sig. figs.)
