Question

A gas has a pressure of 3.16 atm at STP. I have decided to transfer it to a container that is 3 times larger than the original volume. What is a possible value for Pressure?

Answer 1

Answer: The new pressure will be 1.1atm

Explanation:

V1 = V

P1 = 3.16atm

V2 = 3V

P2=?

P1V1 =P2V2

3.16 x V = P2 x 3V

P2 = (3.16 x V) /3V

P2 = 1.1atm
