A gas system has initial pressure and volume of 6790 torr and 8.32 L. If the volume changes to 25300 mL, what will the resultant pressure be in atm?

Answer 1

Given:

P1 = 6790 torr

V1 = 8.32 L

V2 = 25,300 ml x 1 L/1000 ml = 25.3 L (note: change volume to L to be consistent)

Asked for:

P2

Use P1V1 = P2V2 and solve for P2

P2 = P1V1/V2

Plug in the above values and solve
