Answer :
Answer:
The volume will decrease. (option A)
The new volume will be 523 mL (option B)
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
p1v1/t1 = p2v2/t2
A gas sample occupies 650 mL at 525 mm Hg. What would happen to the volume at 652 mm Hg?
Data given:
650 mL = 0.650 L
525 mm Hg = 525/760 = 0.69079 atm
652 mm Hg = 652 / 760 = 0.857895 atm
Calculate the new volume:
p1*V1 = p2*V2
⇒with V1 = the initial volume = 0.650 L
⇒with p1 = the initial pressure = 0.69079 atm
⇒with p2 = the final pressure = 0.857895 atm
⇒with V2 = The final volume = TO BE DETERMINED
V2 = (p1*V1)/p2
V2 = (0.69079 * 0.650) / 0.857895
V2 = 0.523 L = 523 mL
The volume will decrease. The new volume will be 523 mL
