1.1 A sample of oxygen occupies 47.2 L under a pressure of 1240 torr at 25 °C. What
volume would it occupy at 25 °C if the pressure were decreased to 730 torr?

80.2L

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial volume of oxygen = 47.2L

Initial pressure of oxygen = 1240torr

Final pressure  = 730torr

Unknown:

Final volume  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we apply the Boyle's law proposed by Robert Boyle. It states that "the volume of a fixed mass of a gas varies inversely as the pressure changes if the temperature is constant".

Mathematically;

             P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P and V are pressure and volume

1 and 2 are initial and final states

              1240 x 47.2  = 730 x V₂  

                  V₂  = 80.2L

pure water does not conduct electricity very well. however, when certain substances are dissolved in water, the solution does conduct electricity. you can make a simple device that shows how well a solution conducts electricity. this device uses a flashlight bulb to indicate how well the solution conducts electricity. the better the solution conducts electricity, the brighter the bulb will glow.
