A 27.5 L sample of oxygen gas is at 25°C and 1.05 atm. If the gas is cooled to –
40.°C while the pressure is increased to 2.00 atm, calculate the new volume of the
gas.
Can u please show with dymentional analysis?
Initial conditions:
Pressure P1 = 1.05 atm
Volume V1 = 27.5 L
Temperature T1 = 25 oC = 25 + 273 K = 298 K
Final conditions:
Pressure P2 = 2 atm
Volume V2 = ? L
Temperature T2 = -40 oC = -40+ 273 K = 233 K
We knaow that P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
V2 = (P1V1/T1) (T2/P2)
= ( 1.05 atm x 27.5 L/ 298 K ) ( 233 K/ 2 atm)
= 11.28 L
V2 = 11.28 L
Therefore,
new volume of the gas = 11.28 L
