When the combined gas law is rearranged to solve for V₂, the following is the correct expression: V₂=

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rearranging the combined gas law, we get: P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2 Multiplying both sides by P2V1: P2V1P1V1/T1 = P2V2P1V1/T2 Simplifying: V1/T1 = V2/T2 Rearranging: V1T2 = V2T1 Now, to solve for V₂: V₂ = V1T2/T1 Substituting from earlier: V₂ = (P2V1/T1)T2/T1 Simplifying: V₂ = (P2V1/T1)(T2/T1) V₂ = (P2V1T2)/(T1^2) Since P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2: P2V1 = P1V1(T2/T1) Substituting: V₂ = (P1V1T2)/(T1^2) = (P₁V1T2)/(T1^2) = P₁V1T2/(P₂T1) = P₁V1(T2/P₂T1)
