The volume occupied by a given mass of gas at 298 K is 35 mL at 1 atmospheric pressure. Calculate the volume of the gas if pressure is decreased to 0.75 atmosphere at constant temperature.
Options
- A46.66 mL
- B42.7 mL
- C50.2 mL
- D49.2 mL
Correct answer
A. 46.66 mL
Step-by-step solution
According to Boyle's law, at constant temperature, P₁ V₁ = P₂ V₂ . Given: P₁ = 1 atm V₁ = 35 mL P₂ = 0.75 atm Substituting the values: 1 35 = 0.75 V₂ V₂ = 35 0.75 = 140 3 = 46.66 mL Answer: 46.66 mL
