40.0 L at a pressure of 352 torr . If the pressure changes to 1760 torr , with no change in the temperature or moles of gas, what is the new volume, V2 ?

Answer 1

Given:

V1 = initial volume = 40.0 L

P1 = initial pressure = 352 torr

V2 = final volume = ?

P2 = final pressure = 1760 torr

From the combined gas law, we know that P1V1 / T1 = P2V2 / T2, and since temperature (T) is constant, we are left with P1V1 = P2V2. Substituting in the given values, we can solve for V2:

(352)(40.0) = (1760)(V2)

V2 = 8.00 L
