Answer 1

Answer:

40 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 20.0 L

Initial pressure = 1520 torr

Final volume = ?

Final pressure = 760 torr

Solution:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = Initial volume

P₂ = Final pressure

V₂ = Final volume

Now we will put the values in formula.

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

1520 torr  × 20.0 L = 760 torr × V₂

V₂ = 30400 torr. L /760 torr

V₂ = 40 L
