1.86 moles of a gas occupy 245 L at 281 °C under a pressure of 0.346 atm. When the pressure is increased to 0.886 atm while keeping the same temperature, the new volume will be ________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using the ideal gas law and Boyle's Law, we can find the new volume when the pressure changes. The initial conditions are $P_1 = 0.346 \, \text{atm}$, $V_1 = 245 \, \text{L}$, and the final conditions are $P_2 = 0.886 \, \text{atm}$, with the temperature remaining constant. According to Boyle's Law, $P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$, solving for $V_2$ gives $V_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2} = \frac{0.346 \times 245}{0.886} \approx 95.7 \, \text{L}$.
