Nitrogen gas had a volume of 500mL a pressure in its closed
Nitrogen gas had a volume of 500mL, a pressure in its closed comtainer of 740.0 torr and temp of 25.0C. What was the volume of the gas when the temp was changed to 50.0C and the new pressure was 760.0 torr. Please show formula as well
Solution
PV = nRT
P1 = 740/760 = 0.97atm
V1 = 500ml = 0.5L
T1 = 25C = 298K
P2 = 760/760 = 1atm
T1 = 50C = 323K
as n and R are constant
P1*V1/T1 = P2*V2/T2
V2 = 0.52569L = 525.69ml....ANS
