Answer :
Answer:
15 L
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Initial volume (V₁) = 10 L
Initial pressure (P₁) = 1140 torr
Final pressure (P₂) = 1 atm
Final volume (V₂) =?
Recall:
1 atm = 760 torr
The new (i.e final) volume of the gas can be obtained as follow:
Initial volume (V₁) = 10 L
Initial pressure (P₁) = 1140 torr
Final pressure (P₂) = 760 torr
Final volume (V₂) =?
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
1140 × 10 = 760 × V₂
11400 = 760 × V₂
Divide both side by 760
V₂ = 11400 / 760
V₂ = 15 L
Therefore, the new volume of the gas is 15 L
