A sample of N2 gas has a volume of 19.0 L at a pressure of 1.50 atm and a temperature of 23 ∘C. What volume, in liters, will the gas occupy at 3.50 atm and 266 ∘C? Assume ideal behavior.

Answer 1

Use the combined gas law: P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

Use Kelvin for temperature and liters for volume

(1.50 atm)(19.0 L) / 296K = (3.50 atm)(V2) / 539K

V2 = 14.8 L
