Chemistry Gas Question

Question

A gas occupies a volume of 160.5 mL at STP. What pressure in atmosphere, would it exert if it is transferred to another container with a volume at 285.0 mL and a temperature of 28.5 degrees Celsius?

Answer 1

P1 = original pressure = 1 atm (STP)

V1 = original volume = 160.5 ml

T1 = original temperature = 273K (STP)

P2 = final pressure = ?

V2 = final volume = 285.0 ml

T2 = final temperature = 28.5ºC + 273 = 301.5K

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2 and solve for P2

P2 = P1V1T2/V2T1 plug in the values and solve
