Answer:
23.1mL
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Initial volume of the gas = 25ml
Initial pressure = 740torr
Final pressure = 800torr
Unknown:
Final volume = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we apply Boyle's law which states that "the volume of a fixed mass of a gas varies inversely as the pressure changes if the temperature is constant"
P₁ V₁ = P₂ V₂
P and V are pressure and volume
1 and 2 are initial and final states
Insert the parameters and solve;
740 x 25 = 800 x v₂
v₂ = 23.1mL
