Question

If 22.5L of nitrogen at 748 mm Hg are compressed to 725mm Hg at constant temperature. What is the new volume?

Answer 1

Answer:

23.2L

Explanation:

The following were obtained from the question:

V1 = 22.5L

P1 = 748 mmHg

P2 = 725mmHg

V2 =?

The new volume can be obtained by doing the following:

P1V1 = P2V2

22.5 x 748 = 725 x V2

Divide both side by 725

V2 = (22.4 x 748) /725

V2 = 23.2L

The new volume is 23.2L
