A 325-mL sample of air is at 720.0 torr and 30.0 °C. When the temperature is increased to 60.0 °C and the pressure is increased to 900.0 torr, the new volume of the gas will be _______ mL.
PV = nRT
P = 720 torr = 0.947 atm
T = 30 oC = 30 + 273 = 303 K
n = PV/RT
= 0.947 x 0.325/0.08205 x 303
= 0.0124 mols
When T = 60 oC = 60 + 273 = 333 K
P = 900 torr = 1.184 atm
Volume = 0.0124 x 0.08205 x 333/1.184 = 0.286 L = 286 ml
So the final gas volume = 286 ml
