Suppose that 5.2 L of methane at a pressure
of 782 Torr is transferred to a vessel of volume
2.2 L. What is the final pressure of methane
if the change occurs at constant temperature?
Answer in units of Torr.

Answer:

Final pressure = 1848.36 Torr

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial volume, V₁ = 5.2 L

Initial pressure, P₁ = 782 Torr

Initial volume, V₂ = 2.2 L

We need to find the final pressure. We know that the relationship between pressure and volume is given by :

[tex]P\propto \dfrac{1}{V}\\\\\dfrac{P_1}{P_2}=\dfrac{V_2}{V_1}\\\\P_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{V_2}\\\\P_2=\dfrac{782\times 5.2}{2.2}\\\\P_2=1848.36\ torr[/tex]

So, the final pressure is equal to 1848.36 Torr.
