A sample of helium gas has a volume of 2.0 L at a pressure of 4.0 atm. What is the volume of gas at 380 mmHg

Respuesta :

from equation;
P1V1=P2V2
V2=P1V1÷P2
since P2=380mmHg
now;1atm=760mmHg
how about 380mmHg is equal to how many atm?
380×1÷760=0.5atm
P2 now is equal to 0.5atm
back from equation;
P1V1=P2V2
V2=P1V1÷P2
V2=4.0atm×2.0L÷0.5atm
V2=16L
therefore V2=16L.
