Answer:
0.66 L
Explanation:
Here it's given that a sample of Neon occupies a volume of 0.220 L at 0.86 atm . And we need to find out its volume at 29.4 kPa .
If we assume temperature to be constant , then we can apply Boyle's Law , which states that ,
" For a fixed amount of gas at constant temperature , pressure is inversely proportional to the volume . "
Mathematically ,
[tex] P \propto \dfrac{1}{V}[/tex]
Taking k as constant ,
[tex] P =\dfrac{k}{V}[/tex]
And we can say that ,
[tex] P_1 V_1 = P_2V_2[/tex]
Here ,
As we know that ,
[tex] 0.987 atm = 10^5\ Pa [/tex]
So ,
[tex] 29400 Pa = 0.29 \ atm [/tex]
So that ,
[tex] (0.87 atm )(0.220L) = (0.29atm)(V_2)\\[/tex]
[tex] V_2 = \dfrac{0.87 \times 0.220}{0.29} L [/tex]
Simplify ,
[tex] V_2 = 0.66\ L [/tex]
Hence the new Volume of the gas is 0.66 L .
I hope this helps.
