At constant temperature, the pressure on a 10.0 L sample of gas is changed from 1.00 atm to 1140 torr. Calculate the new volume of the gas sample.
A) 0.00877 L
B) 6.67 L
C) 15.0 L
D) 114 L

To solve for the new volume, we can use the formula:

P1V1 = P2V2

where P1 and V1 are the initial pressure and volume, and P2 and V2 are the final pressure and volume.

Substituting our values, we get:

(1.00 atm)(10.0 L) = (1140 torr)(V2)

Converting the initial pressure to torr, we get:

(760 torr)(10.0 L) = (1140 torr)(V2)

Simplifying, we get:

7600 L torr = 1140 torr V2

Dividing both sides by 1140 torr, we get:

V2 = 6.67 L

Therefore, the answer is B.
