Q: A sample of an ideal gas occupies 10.0 L at 2.00 atm and 300 K. If the pressure is decreased to 1.00 atm and the temperature is increased to 400 K, what will be the new volume of the gas? Use the ideal gas law.

$$V_2$$ = $$V_1$$ \times \frac{$$P_1$$}{$$P_2$$} \times \frac{$$T_2$$}{$$T_1$$} = 10.0\,\text{L} \times \frac{2.00}{1.00} \times \frac{400}{300} = 26.7\,\text{L}$$

Question 1

A sample of an ideal gas occupies 10.0 L at 2.00 atm and 300 K. If the pressure is decreased to 1.00 atm and the temperature is increased to 400 K, what will be the new volume of the gas? Use the ideal gas law.

Accepted Answer

$$V_2$$ = $$V_1$$ 	imes \frac{$$P_1$$}{$$P_2$$} 	imes \frac{$$T_2$$}{$$T_1$$} = 10.0\,	ext{L} 	imes \frac{2.00}{1.00} 	imes \frac{400}{300} = 26.7\,	ext{L}$$
