Question

A sealed can of your favorite soda has a carbon dioxide gas (C0) volume of 0.05 L. When it is refrigerated, the
pressure is 207 kPa. When you open it, the pressure drops to 101 kPa. After opening, what will the new volume
of the carbon dioxide gas bé?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.102 L

Explanation:

The new pressure can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

$P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$

Since we are finding the new volume

$V_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2}$

From the question we have

$V_2 = \frac{207000 \times 0.05}{101000} = \frac{10350}{101000} \\ = 0.102475...$

We have the final answer as

0.102 L

Hope this helps you
