A sample of gas has a volume of 8.20 L at 0.750 atm and 375 K. What volume (in L) does the gas occupy at 817 torr and 325 K?

The new volume occupied by the sample of gas is 4.96L.

Given the data in the question;

  • Initila pressure; [tex]P_1 = 0.750atm[/tex]
  • Final pressure; [tex]P_2 = 817torr = 1.075atm[/tex]
  • Inital temperature; [tex]T_1 = 375K[/tex]
  • Final temperature; [tex]T_2 = 325K[/tex]
  • Initial Volume; [tex]V_1 = 8.20L[/tex]

Final Volume; [tex]V_2 = \ ?[/tex]

Combined gas law

Combined gas law put together both Boyle's Law, Charles's Law, and Gay-Lussac's Law. It states that the ratio of the product of volume and pressure and the absolute temperature of a gas is equal to a constant.

It is expressed as;

[tex]\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}[/tex]

To calculate the new volume the gas occupy, we subtsitute our given values into the expression above.

[tex]\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}\\ \\ P_1V_1T_2 = P_2V_2T_1\\\\0.750atm * 8.20L * 325K = 1.075atm * V_2 * 375K\\\\1998.75LatmK = 403.125atmK * V_2\\\\V_2 = \frac{1998.75LatmK}{403.125atmK} \\\\V_2 = 4.96L[/tex]

Therefore, the new volume occupied by the sample of gas is 4.96L.
