Nitrogen gas has a pressure of 706 kPa in a 2 L flask and a pressure of 177 kPa when a 6 L flask is added, both at 28 °C.
Nitrogen gas at 28 °C and 706 kPa (P₁) occupies a 2 L flask (V₁). When a valve is opened, the gas can also occupy a 6 L flask. The total volume occupied by the gas (V₂) will be:
[tex]V_2 = 2 L + 6 L = 8 L[/tex]
Assuming constant temperature and ideal behavior, we can calculate the final pressure (P₂) of the gas using Boyle's law.
[tex]P_1 \times V_1 = P_2 \times V_2\\\\P_2 = \frac{P_1 \times V_1 }{V_2} = \frac{706 kPa \times 2L }{8L} = 177kPa[/tex]
