an experimental container has volume of 13000 L has an internal pressure of 1.38 atm. if the pressure inside the container becomes 250 atm, what would the new volume have to be ? assume all other properties remain constant ?

Respuesta :

The  new  volume  is 71.76  L


calculation

 The new  volume  is  calculated using  the Boyle's  law  formula

that  is  P1V1=P2V2  where,

P1=1.38 atm

V1= 13000  L

P2  =250 atm

V2= ?

make V2  the   subject of the formula   by diving both side by P2

V2= P1V1/ P2

v2=( 1.38  atm  x 13000 L)  / 250 atm = 71.76 L
