If 40.02 L of nitrogen at 736.18 mmHg are compressed to 822.6 mmHg at constant temperature, what is the new volume of nitrogen? Give your answer in L to the hundredths place. Do not put units in the answer space.



Answer :

Answer:

35.82L

Explanation:

Boyle's Law

Under constant temperature, the change of volume as a effect of change in pressure is known as Boyle's law, which is described with the formula

P1V1 = P2V2

In this case

P1 = 736.18 mmHg

P2 = 822.6 mmHg

V1 = 40.02 L

V2 = x

Therefore, V2 can be found by modifying the formula as

P1V1/P2 = V2

Now plug the values in the formula

(736.18)(40.02)/822.6 = 35.82L
