Question

What is the volume occupied by 33.0 liters of gas at 4.0 atm after it has been compressed at constant temperature to 0.60 atm?

Answer 1

`"220 L"`

Explanation:

Ideal gas equation

`"PV = nRT"`

At constant `"T"`

`"P" prop 1/"V"`

`"P"_1"V"_1 = "P"_2"V"_2`

`"V"_2 = ("P"_1"V"_1)/"P"_2 = (4.0 cancel"atm" × "33.0 L")/(0.60 cancel"atm") = "220 L"`
