If a gas occupies 2.3 liters at a pressure of 1.9 atm, what will be its volume at a
pressure of 3.8 atm?

If a gas occupies 23 liters at a pressure of 19 atm what will be its volume at a pressure of 38 atm class=

Respuesta :

Answer:

Option C (1.2 L) is the correct option.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Pressure,

[tex]P_1=1.9 \ atm[/tex]

[tex]P_2=3.8 \ atm[/tex]

Volume,

[tex]V_1=2.3 \ L[/tex]

[tex]V_2=?[/tex]

As we know,

The gas equation is:

⇒  [tex]PV=nRT[/tex]

At constant temperature,

⇒  [tex]P_1 V_1=P_2 V_2[/tex]

or,

⇒      [tex]V_2=\frac{P_1 V_1}{P_2}[/tex]

By substituting the values, we get

⇒           [tex]=\frac{1.9\times 2.3}{3.8}[/tex]

⇒           [tex]=\frac{4.37}{3.8}[/tex]

⇒           [tex]=1.15 \ L[/tex]

or,

⇒           [tex]=1.2 \ L[/tex]
