A gas sample occupies 10.28 L at 8.34 atm. Its volume at 6.98 atm (assuming constant temperature conditions) is ___.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure when temperature is constant (Boyle's Law). Using the formula P1V1 = P2V2, where P1 and V1 are the initial pressure and volume, and P2 and V2 are the final pressure and volume, we can solve for V2: V2 = (P1V1)/P2 = (8.34 atm * 10.28 L) / 6.98 atm = 12.3 L.
