A sample of neon gas at a pressure of 1.08 atm fills a flask with a volume of 250 mL at a temperature of 24.0 °C. If the gas is transferred to another flask at 37.2 °C and a pressure of 2.25 atm, what is the volume of the new flask?

Respuesta :

Answer:

124.91mL

Explanation:

Given parameters:

P₁  = 1.08atm

V₁  = 250mL

T₁  = 24°C

P₂  = 2.25atm

T₂  = 37.2°C

V₂  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we are going to apply the combined gas law;

              [tex]\frac{P_{1} V_{1} }{T_{1} } = \frac{P_{2} V_{2} }{T_{2} }[/tex]

P, V and T represents pressure, volume and temperature

1 and 2 delineates initial and final states

Convert the temperature to kelvin;

        T₁  = 24°C,  T₁   = 24 + 273 = 297K

        T₂  = 37.2°C , T₂  = 37.2 + 273  = 310.2K

Input the variables and solve for V₂

        [tex]\frac{1.08 x 250}{298} = \frac{2.25 x V_{2} }{310.2}[/tex]

           V₂ = 124.91mL
