A sample of gas contains 3.0L of nitrogen at 320kPa. What volume would be necessary to decrease the pressure at 110kPa

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]V_{2} = 8.92 L[/tex]

Explanation:

We have the equation for ideal gas expressed as:

PV=nRT

Being:

P = Pressure

V = Volume

n = molar number

R = Universal gas constant

T = Temperature

From the statement of the problem I infer that we are looking to change the volume and the pressure, maintaining the temperature, so I can calculate the right side of the equation with the data of the initial condition of the gas:

[tex]P_{1} V_{1} =nRT[/tex]

[tex]320Kpa*0.003m^{3} =nRT[/tex]

[tex]1000L = 1m^{3}[/tex]

So

[tex]nRT= 0.96[/tex]

Now, as for the final condition:

[tex]P_{2}V_{2}=nRT[/tex]

[tex]P_{2} V_{2} =0.96[/tex]

clearing[tex]V_{2}[/tex]

[tex]V_{2} =\frac{0.96}{P_{2} }[/tex]

[tex]V_{2} =0.00872m_{3}[/tex]

[tex]V_{2} = 8.92 L[/tex]
