Help please! A gas occupies 500 mL at 270 mm Hg and 55°C. If the pressure is changed to 1.8 atm and the temperature is increased to 100°C, what is the new volume? Be sure to show the setup and the final answer and unit.

V₂ = 112.14 mL

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 500 mL

Initial pressure = 270 mmHg (270/760 =0.355 atm)

Initial temperature = 55 °C (55 +273 = 328 K)

Final temperature = 100°C (100+273 = 373 K)

Final volume = ?

Final pressure = 1.8 atm

Formula:  

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂  

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

P₂ = Final pressure

V₂ = Final volume

T₂ = Final temperature

Solution:

V₂ = P₁V₁ T₂/ T₁ P₂  

V₂ = 0.355 atm × 500mL × 373 K / 328 K × 1.8 atm

V₂ = 66207.5 atm .mL. K /  590.4 K.atm

V₂ = 112.14 mL
