Question

If a gas occupies 76 ml at 760 mm pressure. Determine the volume of the same mass of the gas at the same temperature but at 76 mm pressure.

Answer 1

Here, P₁ = 760mm, V₁ = 76ml, P₂ = 76 mm, V₂ = ?

Applying, Boyle's law \(P_{1}V_{1} = P_{2}V_{2}\)

\(760 \times 76 = 76V_{2}\)

V₂ = 760ml
